PETALING JAYA:
Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB) has denied issuing any orders for the closure of its Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and Kuala Lumpur stations following a notice making the rounds on social media.

When a netizen asked about the notice in the comment section of one of KTMB’s Facebook posts, the firm said there had been no official announcement from the management.

“Updates will be shared from time to time through KTMB’s official media channels,” the KTMB Facebook admin replied.

The notice said that the BNM and Kuala Lumpur KTM stations would be closed from 9am to 5pm tomorrow.

“The KTM train will not stop at these stations during the closure period,” the notice said.

A mass rally organised by Perikatan Nasional is expected to take place in Kuala Lumpur tomorrow, to call for the resignation of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

Participants will gather at Masjid Negara, Pasar Seni, Masjid Jamek Sultan Abdul Samad, Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru and the Sogo shopping complex before marching to Dataran Merdeka.

Organisers expect up to 300,000 participants, although a similar protest in Shah Alam earlier this month drew just over 300 people.

Police have advised rallygoers to obey the law and assemble peacefully.

Yesterday, acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Usuf Jan Mohamad said no roads would be closed in the capital city ahead of the “Turun Anwar” rally.
