Stern action awaited those who gather near the Bangunan Perak Darul Ridzuan to watch a 'state assembly sitting' to be held tomorrow, warned state police chief Zulkifli Abdullah.

He said the police had obtained a court order under Section 98 of the Criminal Procedure Code to prohibit anyone from attending the 'sitting' or being within a 30-metre radius from the building, beginning 1am on Sept 2 till 11pm, the following day.

"The police have been informed by the state government that there is no state assembly sitting scheduled for Sept 2," he said in a statement here today.

Zulkfili said the matter had also been verified by Perak state assembly speaker R Ganesan.

He said the police would not hesitate to take stern action against any illegal demonstrator on the said dates.

Only civil servants allow to enter building

Meanwhile, Ipoh police chief ACP Azisman Alias said only civil servants working in the building would be allowed to enter the building tomorrow.

Tronoh state assemblyman V Sivakumar, who is also former state assembly speaker, had last week, issued a notice on tomorrow's meeting.

Ganesan on Saturday, however, asked the state assemblymen to ignore the notice as it was issued by an illegal source.

Assemblypersons from PAS, DAP and PKR had tried to convene a state assembly sitting on March 3, but they were denied entrance, causing them to resort to an assembly under a tree.
