PUTRAJAYA: Supporters of opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim got a little unruly earlier today as they tried to break past barriers placed in front of the Palace of Justice.
At around 1.35pm, the crowd was seen marching towards the Palace of Justice, chanting slogans in an aggressive manner although the situation later was brought under control by policemen on duty.
Also reported was a commotion that broke out when an elderly man holding a stick began verbally abusing the police, challenging them to remove the barrier and shoot him.
Policemen on the scene however were able to take control of the situation and urged the elderly man to leave.
Meanwhile, a Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) helicopter was seen hovering over the Palace of Justice monitoring the situation on the ground.
A PDRM spokesman told Bernama that only one helicopter was deployed to conduct aerial surveillance for the sake of public safety.
In court, lead prosecutor Muhammad Shafee Abdullah continued his submission to counter arguments of the defence led by Gopal Sri Ram.
Anwar, 67, is appealing against his conviction and five-year jail sentence for sodomising his former personal aide, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, 27.
