The Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih) cannot hold its Bersih 5 rally if it wants to topple Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar said today.

"We will not allow it because there is way to ask the prime minister to step down as stipulated in the law," Khalid said at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur.

"If they ask the prime minister to step down according to the law, then we can accept it," he said.

If all quarters organise the rally according to the law, then the police would help facilitate it, he added.

Khalid said this when asked to comment on the possibility of a Bersih 5 rally being held, in the wake of the civil suits filed by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) against 1MDB.

Khalid also said the police would deal with Sungai Besar Umno chief Jamal Md Yunos, who had announced that he would hold another red shirt rally to counter Bersih 5 if the electoral reform movement proceeds with its plan.

Jamal said he expects to see 300,000 march in Kuala Lumpur.

"We will manage. We will call up both the organisers if they really want to do it (hold a rally). I only ask that they give us ample notice so we can make arrangements to prevent any clash," Khalid said.

Police keeping eye on education institutions

He also agreed with Education Minister Mahdzir Khalid, who voiced concerns over teachers or students quietly promoting terrorist activities.

"Of course, we worry that our students (may spread terrorism) quietly. This is one of the matters that we monitor," Khalid said.

The police have already set their sight on schools, higher education institutions and tuition centres, he said.

"We are dealing with the matter in a holistic manner; we need to extend our scope of intelligence to all quarters," he added.

Khalid also confirmed that the police had advised the movie-maker of 'Kabali', which was partly shot in Malaysia, to alter some parts of the scene.

"We gave our advice on those parts of the film shot here," he said.

"Movie is just movie, it is something to entertain you."

The Tamil movie starring Rajinikanth caused controversy as the film screened in Malaysia has a different ending from the version shown abroad.

It was reported that the Malaysian version ends with a line, "Finally, Kabali surrendered to the police" on a black screen.

In the movie screened elsewhere, it shows an armed man walking up to Kabali before the screen goes black, followed by a gunshot.
