Kuala Lumpur police chief Mohamad Salleh warned action will be taken against those who participate in the 'illegal' 'Walk for Freedom' by the Bar Council today.

According to a report in Chinese daily Sin Chew Daily today, Salleh claimed that the Malaysian Bar has not applied any permit from the police, which is required under the Police Act.

He called on lawyers to reject the march as it is against the law.

"If they insist to join (the march), they are intentionally violating the law," he was quoted as saying so.

Asked whether police will set up blockades to thwart the march, an effective tactic used during the Bersih 2.0 July 9 rally, Salleh declined to comment.

He stressed, however, that the police will take the necessary action to stop the march.

NONE Lawyers from the Malaysian Bar and supporters will be converging on Lake Gardens park in a rally this morning to protest against the Peaceful Assembly Bill, which is expected to be voted on tonight.

Describing the law as a piece of legislation that would rob the rakyat of its constitutional right, Malaysian Bar president Lim Chee Wee said lawyers cannot watch it enter the statute books without standing up against it.

Dubbed ‘Walk for Freedom’, the group is expected to march to the Parliament house at 11.30am, approximately two kilometres away, to submit a memorandum opposing the law.

Meanwhile, action is also expected in front of the Parliament House's as activists have called on the public to gather there for three consecutive days beginning at 11am.

The group - the KL People's Assembly - is the brains behind the 'Occupy Dataran' movement and has now launched its latest Occupy Parliament campaign against the Peaceful Assembly bill.
