The police have asked the organiser of Saturday's anti-kleptocracy rally to relocate the event to the Kelana Jaya stadium instead of Padang Timur.

Inspector-general of police Mohamad Fuzi Harun said four reports have been received from residents regarding the plan to hold the rally at Padang Timur.

The police chief also pointed out that Padang Timur can only accommodate 10,000 people whereas the organiser is predicting a 100,000-strong turnout...
