Sentul OCPD ACP R Munusamy, when contacted by Bernama, said police had only received a note from Pakatan Harapan (PH) stating that there would be an election ceramah.

“They (PKR) only sent in the application for a ceramah in the evening, and no approval was given to them as the party has no candidate contesting in the area.

“Moreover, they have to provide a 10-day notice before the ceramah,” he said, adding that Prabakaran too had failed apply for a permit as required under the Elections Act.

Munusamy said the police would conduct investigations under Section 9 of the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012 as the organisers had flouted the law.

The ceramah had been held in front of the Sentul Urban Transformation Centre.

Munusamy said police had been at the location to keep things in check.

Prabakaran will be contesting for PKR after the party’s candidate Tian Chua failed to challenge the returning officer’s decision to disqualify him due to a RM2000 fine imposed by the courts.
