The planned protest against Anwar Ibrahim's
incarceration on March 7 will also demand for Prime Minister Najib Abdul
Razak's resignation, said organisers.
The organisers have stated 12 reasons for this, including the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder case with regard to former police commando Sirul Azhar Umar's latest revelations.
Calling themselves #KitaLawan, the group also wants opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim to be freed.
In statement, the #KitaLawan secretariat said last Saturday’s arrest during a protest at the same venue has not deterred them.
As planned earlier, the organiser added, similar protests will be held outside the shopping mall every Saturday until the demands are met.
Among others, #KitaLawan's 12 reasons for Najib to step down includes the 1MDB scandal, reneging promises to abolish sedition laws, GST implementation, weak handling of the economy, failing to stem corruption, failing to ensure free elections and abusing public institutions.
"If these issues are not resolved, the people of Malaysia will face more burdens.
"In view of this, we urge all Malaysians to take the first step towards rectifying the nation's problems by joining our rally on March 7 to demand that Najib step down," said the group.
The rally by #KitaLawan, a coalition of NGOs in cooperation with the youth wings of Pakatan Rakyat component parties, coincides with the March 2 Freedom rally organised by Anwar's family members.
March 2 Freedom slated for March 7 and 8 in Kuala Lumpur. Details of the rally have yet to be released.
Asked if a police permit was needed for the rally, #KitaLawan spokesperson Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad promised that the rally organisers will cooperate with the police.
"We would carry on with the rally no matter what and we will give full cooperation to the police," said Nik Nazmi, who is also PKR Youth chief and Selangor exco member.
