KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Bar chairman Karen Cheah says police did not allow participants of the Walk for Judicial Independence to walk to Parliament due to safety reasons.
Instead, she said the police had suggested that the group select 20 representatives who would be allowed to walk to Parliament to hand over the memorandum of protest.Justice walk LiveBlog: Crowd begins to disperse, some choose to march back to Bar Council HQ
