Malaysia: Perikatan Nasional party to stage demonstration at Palace of Justice in Putrajaya from 09:00 Nov. 20
Perikatan Nasional party to stage rally at Palace of Justice, Putrajaya, from 09:00 Nov. 20. Increased security likely.
Perikatan Nasional (PN) party is planning to stage a rally at the Palace of Justice in Putrajaya, from 09:00 Nov. 20. The purpose of the action is to denounce a constitutional challenge against provisions within the Kelantan Shariah Criminal Code (I) Enactment 2019. A few thousand people could join the demonstration.
Authorities will likely deploy heightened security around the protest sites. Traffic diversions and road closures are probable. Associated transport and business disruptions are likely. Clashes between demonstrators and police may occur, especially if the latter forcibly disperses participants; bystanders face incidental risks.
Avoid the protest site as a precaution and to minimize travel delays. Allow additional time for journeys in the affected area. Heed all official directives. Leave an area at the first sign of unrest.
