KUALA LUMPUR: The situation in the city remains calm with no protestors seen gathering on Saturday (Aug 21)

       As of 12.45pm, the only individuals gathered along Jalan Tun Perak near the Dataran Merdeka intersection were police personnel and approximately 20 people from the media.

       Roads in and around Sogo Complex and Dataran Merdeka will remain closed until later in the afternoon, but Dataran Merdeka will continue to be cordoned off until further notice, says a source.

       On Friday, the Kuala Lumpur Magistrates Court issued an order banning any procession or gathering within a one-kilometre radius of Sogo Complex and Masjid Jamek on Saturday (Aug 21).

       "We want those planning to hold or take part in gatherings or processions to know that it is prohibited. We urge the community here to comply with standard operating procedures (SOP) under Phase One of the National Recovery Plan," said city police chief Comm Datuk Azmi Abu Kassim.

       Earlier this month, Sekretariat Solidariti Rakyat (SSR) vowed to hold a protest on Aug 21 demanding Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin resign as prime minister.

       On Thursday (Aug 19) they called off the protest following Muhyiddin's resignation.

       SSR also said that the #Lawan movement would go on as part of democratic process, citing the need for checks and balances on the government's actions.
