Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar says that all rallies including Bersih 5 will be handled under the provision of the Peaceful Assembly Act (PAA) 2012.

He said this when asked on concerns that the National Security Council (NSC) Act 2016, which comes into force on Aug 1, will be invoked against the recently announced Bersih 5 rally.

"What has the National Security Council (Act) got to do with the rallies? Rallies are governed by the PAA.

"I don't see any relevancy between the NSC Act and the people who want to rally. I don't see that it is going to be used for that (purpose)," he said at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.
