Adib's death: Rally participants in Klang urged not to be provocative

Participants of a rally to call for justice over the death of fireman Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim in Klang near here, tomorrow afternoon, have been advised to comply with police directives and not to cause any provocations that could disturb public order.

Selangor deputy police chief Ab Rashid Ab Wahab, said the police would provide enough manpower to manage security throughout the gathering, which is also calling for Minister in the Prime Minister's Department P Waythamoorthy to be removed from his post.

"We are ready with enough police personnel to control the situation, including traffic around Klang town tomorrow," he said when contacted by Bernama in Shah Alam today.

Adib, who was severely beaten during an incident at Sri Maha Mariamman Temple in Subang Jaya last month, was confirmed dead at the National Heart Institute at 9.41pm on Monday.

Meanwhile, Klang North District police chief Nurulhuda Mohd Salleh in a statement said five intersections will be closed tomorrow from noon onwards due to the rally.

"The five intersections involved are Jalan Raja Hassan, Jalan Nangka, Jalan Nenas, Jalan Melayu and Jalan Taiping.

"At the same time, the roads which would be closed in stages beginning 3pm are the Kota Bridge exit, Kota Roundabout, 100 Roundabout, Persiaran Sultan Ibrahim, Jalan Pos Baru and Jalan Pasar, while a contra route will also be made available at Jalan Batu 3 if there is a full closure," she said.
