On the six locations which Bersih 3.0 had planned to gather, Mohmad said there were no rules prohibiting them from gathering but marching was not allowed and police would not hesitate to act.
He did not rule out the possibility of using tear gas and water cannon if the situation got out of hand. He advised parents not to bring their children to the gathering.
“The court order has been issued and we intend to enforce it. We will not hesitate to act.”

The sit-in rally is not about flexing power or disobeying the authorities. Rather, it is about the misuse and abuse of trust and faith that the rakyat had in the authorities that has been pawned to serve the ill-begotten interests of the corrupted politicians.
