What started as a protest against the planned Urban Renewal Act (URA) quickly shifted to a rally at Dataran Merdeka demanding for Anwar Ibrahim to step down as prime minister.
According to the organisers, PAS Youth, 300,000 participants are expected today, but police estimates put it at 10,000 to 15,000.
Stay tuned as FMT’s Afizi Ismail, Andrea Edmonds, Anne Muhammad, Hizami Safri, Moganraj Villavan, Natalie Chan, Nora Mahpar and Yee Suet Mun bring you live coverage of the protest.
11am – Hundreds gather at 5 meeting points
Hundreds of rally-goers have started to gather at five meeting points around the city centre, namely Masjid Negara, Pasar Seni, Masjid Jamek Sultan Abdul Samad, Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru and the Sogo shopping complex.
The atmosphere at Sogo is more lively but there are fewer protesters outside Masjid Negara.
PAS vice-president Amar Abdullah is among those spotted at the rally so far.
