KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 4): Police have rejected the application to organise a gathering at the Palace of Justice in Putrajaya next Monday.

Putrajaya police chief ACP Aidi Sham Mohamed said police received the application from the rally organisers on Tuesday. 

“After reviewing, it was found to be incomplete, and police have turned down the aplication for permission to hold the assembly. The rejection acknowledgement has been conveyed to the organisers on Friday,” he said in a statement on Saturday.

Nonetheless, Aidi Sham said 456 police officers and personnel will be assigned for security control at the Palace of Justice and its surrounding areas on Monday.

Earlier, it was reported that the solidarity rally to support former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak will be held on Monday at the Palace of Justice.

The Court of Appeal has set Monday to hear Najib’s appeal against the decision of the High Court relating to the purported royal addendum.
