Kuantan OCPD ACP Mohd Jasmani Yusof said the police would hold a meeting with the organisers tomorrow regarding the matter.

“We had sent a letter to the organisers to hold a meeting last Wednesday but due to certain factors, the meeting was postponed to tomorrow,” he said when contacted, here yesterday.

Meanwhile, Kuantan Municipal Council (MPK) Public Relations Officer Haslinda Hassan said the council would also not issue the permit to the organisers who planned to hold the assembly at the Padang MPK1, Kuantan in case they had received approval from the police earlier.
