13 NGOs, Umno Youth lodge 'topple gov't' reports

Thirteen non-governmental organisations (NGOs), together with Pandan Umno Youth lodged police reports today on attempts being made by certain quarters to hold a rally on Dec 31, dubbed "Himpunan Guling Kerajaan',  to topple the government.

Among the NGOs that lodged the reports at the Ampang Jaya police headquarters were Persatuan Belia dan Beliawanis Pandan, Kelab Generasi Muda Pandan, Pertubuhan Seni Bela Diri Jamiah Al-Sidrah and Kelab Transformasi Pemikir Pandan.

Pandan Umno Youth chief Muhammad Faizal Sufar said the police should investigate the matter as there was a serious allegation that certain quarters were making efforts to provoke the people to topple the government.

Faizal said the police need to take pre-emptive steps, including arresting those trying to organise the rally before they could create an unrest.

Prior to this, Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar was quoted as saying that police viewed seriously the distribution of posters calling on the public to topple the government on Dec 31 and would investigate the matter according to Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma).

In Klang today, several NGOs representing youths also lodged eight police reports at the Klang Selatan police headquarters, demanding immediate investigation into the dissemination of posters containing such a provocation to the people.

The Selangor Youth Council’s Klang branch chairperson, Haiziee Mohd Salleh, claimed the provocation was also spread through social media and was a threat to national security and people's unity and harmony.
