A crowd is starting to gather for the solidarity rally in support of former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, as he pushes for house arrest to serve the

“This kind of peaceful assembly doesn’t need a permit, you just have to inform the authorities beforehand,” he explained. “The police shouldn’t have stopped peaceful gatherings. Instead, they should’ve enforced laws to allow them. We also hope the authorities will do their part to ensure no troublemakers show up to stir things up.”PAS secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said earlier that the party isn’t backing down on its decision to call supporters to rally in support of Najib.
