Do not be angry with the police when they take action against those breaking the law during the Bersih 5 rally and the red-shirts' counter-rally this Saturday.

Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar issued this reminder when he spoke at a press conference after his keynote address at the Seventh Aseanapol Police Training Cooperation Meeting (APTCM) in Cheras today.

"Of course we are prepared (for possible clashes this Saturday).

"I want to reiterate that all parties need to follow the law and don't get angry with us when we take action against those who don't follow the law, be they yellow or red shirts," the IGP said.

Bersih plans to hold its rally near Dataran Merdeka on Nov 19 while Sungai Besar Umno division chief Jamal Md Yunos, who leads the red-shirts, vowed to gather wherever Bersih would be on that same day.

The IGP also assured that if the police were to utilise one of the latest additions to their arsenal - pepperballs - for crowd control on Saturday, it would be according to the law.

"Whatever we use is to avoid any untoward incidents from happening and whatever we use will be according to the law.

"There's no need to worry," Khalid said.

He also said that they will reveal later if there will be any road closures this Saturday.

Complaining about lack of notices, the IGP said it was difficult for the police to plan road closures when they were not given enough information.

"That's the problem when they don't give us enough notices... it's difficult for us to make preparations.

"But there are those who are so smart, so-called already gave their notice," he said, without naming anyone.

Khalid also assured that there will be enough police forces deployed on Saturday to keep the situation under control.
