Police will close Jalan Ibadah, Jalan Dutamas 1 dan Jalan Sri Hartamas between 2pm and 4pm, said Sentul police chief ACP Zakaria Pagan.

“Police will control traffic during the rally,” he told reporters here today.

He said rally participants were allowed to wait at the entrance 3, about 1.3km from Istana Negara, while waiting for their representative to hand over the memorandum on their objection to the listing of Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd (FGVH) on Bursa Malaysia, to a representative from the palace.

The rally is being organised by the Save Felda Movement (GSF). — Bernama
