KUALA TERENGGANU: Police have warned the people against attending a gathering purportedly to be organised by an opposition party in Batu Buruk on Tuesday.

State police chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Ayub Yaakob said police had not issued any permit for the gathering and those attending it would be committing an offence.

“After looking into all the aspects, the police find the place unsuitable as a venue for the gathering and ceramah,” he told reporters.

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh, in a statement issued here, said the state government had never prevented anybody including PAS representatives from voicing their opinions or holding gatherings in the state.

“We do not want a recurrence of the incident of Sept 8,” he said. – Bernama
