Dang Wangi police chief Zainol Samah said that the recently concluded TangkapMO1 rally urging authorities to take action against the mysterious ‘Malaysian Official 1' (MO1) accused by US authorities to have pocketed US$731 million of stolen 1MDB monies, is not in accordance with the law.

He said that despite rally organisers having submitted a notice to police, they did not follow the guidelines outlined in the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012.

“This rally is not in accordance with the law. Even though they sent in a notice, it did not fulfill the guidelines,” he told reporters after the rally at Dataran Merdeka.
