A total of 13 individuals will give their statements tomorrow at the Dang Wangi police station relating to the ‘Mana Kapal Tempur Pesisir (LCS)’ gathering held at a Kuala Lumpur shopping mall on Sunday (Aug 14).

Kuala Lumpur police chief Azmi Abu Kassim said the individuals were among those present and who made speeches during the gathering.

“We will continue to investigate to complete the investigation paper before forwarding it to the prosecutor’s office as soon as possible,” he said.

Azmi was speaking to reporters after witnessing the signing of a memorandum of agreement between Yayasan Pembangunan Ekonomi Islam Malaysia (Yapeim) and the Kuala Lumpur contingent police.

The signing was held at the Kuala Lumpur contingent police headquarters today.

The memorandum was signed by acting Yapeim director-general Awang @ Musran Tawil and Kuala Lumpur contingent police management department chief SAC Muhammad Idzam Jaafar.

It aims to strengthen the relationship between both parties in a smart partnership specialising in gathering and distributing funds received by Yapeim under the Infaq Gaji scheme donated by Kuala Lumpur police officers and personnel.

Dang Wangi district police chief ACP Noor Dellhan Yahaya said on Sunday that investigation papers have been opened under Section 9(5) of the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012 for gathering without notice.

Around 60 individuals from non-governmental organisations (NGOs), university students, and political party members gathered in the area from 2pm that day.
