Other who may be called include Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh, Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad, Ketari assemblyperson Young Syefura Othman, DAP Youth chief Howard Lee, Pakatan Harapan Youth chief Shazni Munir, PSM central committee member Sharan Raj, and PSM youth committee member SK Arveent.
It was learnt that all of them received a call from the police to go to the police station at 2.30pm tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Dang Wangi police chief Mohamad Zainal Abdullah confirmed with Malaysiakini that the police will quiz several rally participants tomorrow.
"Yes, they will come tomorrow," he said when contacted.
Zainal added that the rally organiser did not submit a notice to the police prior to holding the protest.
On March 27, Zainal was also seen observing the crowd of over 100 rally participants.
He said the participants will also be probed under Regulation 11, Prevention and Control Of Infectious Disease (Measures in Local Infected Areas) (Conditional Movement Control Order) (No 4) 2021.
The protest, which was led by Amir, saw participants marching from Padang Merbok to a few hundred metres away from the Parliament's main gates.
The protesters were demanding for the government to honour its promise to lower the voting age to 18-years-old, as well as implement automatic voter registration by July.
The protest followed the announcement by the Election Commission that the process would be delayed until September next year.
The 15th general election is widely speculated to be called in August this year when the emergency proclamation expires.
