The following major roads going in and out the city will be closed this Saturday, as part of the government’s measures to head off the Bersih 2.0 rally.
Please take note, and if you are not going to participate in the rally (your personal choice – please try to keep the comments area free of political messages) it’s best that you stay away from the area.
According to city police chief Datuk Amar Singh, those who live and work in the area would be allowed in – I’m presuming some kind of proof would be needed – the easiest would be to check the address listed on your IC.
