Malaysia: Muda Party calls for a protest at SOGO shopping complex in Kuala Lumpur 16:00 Sept. 24
Muda Party plans to protest at SOGO shopping complex in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Sept. 24. Increased security likely; disruptions possible.
Event
The Muda Party has called for a protest at the SOGO shopping complex in Kuala Lumpur from 16:00 Sept. 24. Participants intend to demand the government postpone the planned 15th General Election due to concerns over damages caused by the monsoon season. Several dozen to a few hundred people will likely attend the protest.
Authorities will almost certainly deploy increased security near the protest as a precaution. Localized traffic and business disruptions are possible. Clashes between police and demonstrators cannot be ruled out, particularly if authorities seek to forcibly disperse crowds.
Advice
Avoid the protest site Sept. 24 due to possible clashes. If clashes erupt nearby, immediately depart the area and seek shelter in a secure, nongovernmental building. Allow additional time to reach destinations if traveling near the affected area. Heed all official traffic and security advisories.
