"I received a love letter... Checks showed that I am being investigated under the Public Assembly Act, the same Act that (PKR Youth head) Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad had challenged and won. My appointment is on March 16," she said.
Nurul Izzah said today's #KitaLawan rally was important because it symbolizes Malaysians coming together and that we have a vibrant democracy.
"I think it is a very important symbolism, the site that we are standing (in KLCC), shows that Malaysians are more than just about materialistic wealth. We want to show that we have a vibrant democracy," she said.
Police had earlier warned the public not to join today's street protest, which began from 3pm from three points in the city – Central Market, Masjid Jamek and the PAS headquarters on Jalan Raja Laut – before marching to congregate outside the Sogo shopping centre on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.
Continuing the march to KLCC, the rally today ended at 6.12pm under the supervision of lawyers and the authorities. PKR claimed to have gathered a crowd of 10,000 in support of Anwar and to call for the resignation of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak. – March 7, 2015.
