DPM Urges Ambiga To Cancel Illegal Rally Before Having Audience With Agong

ALOR GAJAH, July 4 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has urged the organising chairman of the illegal rally scheduled on July 9, Datuk S.Ambiga, to cancel the plan before having an audience with Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin.

"Rumour has it that she wants to have an audience with Yang di-Pertuan Agong, I think she better cancel the rally first.

"God knows what she would say (to the King), she might say something like 'sembah derhaka" (disobeying the King's word)," he said when addressing a gathering at a "Kenduri 1Malaysia" event held at Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina (SJKC) Machap Baru here Monday.

Ambiga was reported to have said today that she was willing to cancel the rally if she was granted a royal audience with Tuanku Mizan and ordered by the King personally.

Muhyiddin said illegal rallies could affect peace and harmony, which had been enjoyed by the multi-racial people in the country all this while.

He said all the projects and development carried out by the Barisan Nasional government were meant to be inherited by the future generation.

Hence, he called on all people to work with the government to defend the stability, peace and harmony in the country.

Present were Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, Alor Gajah Member of Parliament Tan Sri Dr Fong Chan Onn and Deputy Home Minister Datuk Wira Abu Seman Yusop.
