The Royal Malaysian Police has appealed to padi farmers planning a demonstration in Putrajaya to postpone their event due to a scheduling conflict with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto's official visit. Police emphasized the need for alternative arrangements to ensure smooth security operations and the highest level of safety during the President's visit, which is classified as a state guest event.
The Royal Malaysian Police has advised a group of padi farmers planning to gather in Putrajaya on Monday morning to reschedule their event, as it coincides with the official visit of Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto.
Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Razarudin Husain emphasized that choosing an alternative date and time would allow for better coordination and more effective security arrangements to ensure the highest safety level for President Prabowo, who will be in Putrajaya as well. \'The police are committed to facilitating the gathering of the padi farmers on another date, under existing legal provisions,' he said in a statement on Monday (Jan 27). He added that this advice aims to prevent any inconvenience for participants and avoid any negative perceptions of the police force if they are subjected to stringent security measures due to President Prabowo’s visit, which has been granted state guest status with heightened security. \Razarudin reiterated that these security measures align with the police's responsibility under Section 3(3) of the Police Act to maintain law and order and ensure national peace and security. He stated that, based on the information received, approximately 1,000 padi farmers are expected to gather in front of Perdana Putra at 10am on Monday (Jan 27). He also urged the public to refrain from making any comments or speculations on the matter to maintain public harmony and peace. Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu was reported on Sunday as saying that his ministry is open to receiving memorandums from any group of farmers regarding their demand to raise the minimum padi purchase price. He was asked to comment on reports of a planned gathering of padi farmers in Putrajaya on Monday
