Lim Yi Wei, a member of the secretariat for the “Love Malaysia, End Kleptocracy” rally, is now facing the possibility of being charged under the Peaceful Assembly Act.

Refusing to divulge details of her 45-minute meeting with the police, Lim said she was unsure why she was summoned by the police.

When asked if she would be charged under the act that governs rallies, she said she wasn’t sure.

“But I hope that is not the case because it would amount to intimidation,” she told reporters when met outside the police station.

Her lawyer Vince Tan said he expected his client to be charged for organising an illegal rally.

He also said he was surprised that Lim had been called in for questioning by the police.

“It is quite sudden. The rally was just two days ago,” he said.

Days before the rally on October 14, police had vowed to take “necessary action” against the organisers if they insisted on holding the event at Padang Timur in Petaling Jaya, without approval.

Deputy Inspector-General of Police Noor Rashid Ibrahim said the rally could not proceed at the venue as residents in the area had objected to it being held there.

Noor Rashid’s statement was made a day after Inspector-General of Police Mohamad Fuzi Harun advised the organisers to hold the event at the Kelana Jaya Stadium instead.

The rally which featured opposition leaders, including Pakatan Harapan chairman Dr Mahathir Mohamad and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng, saw thousands throng Padang Timur.
