Kedah Pakatan Harapan has denied any involvement in organising the “Himpunan Rakyat Honggaq Kedah” rally on Aug 24, aimed at calling for Sanusi Nor’s resignation as menteri besar.
Kedah PH deputy chairman Asmirul Anuar Aris said the state chapter will not stop its members from taking part in the gathering, which is being organised by a coalition of NGOs supportive of the unity government.
“PH is not involved in the rally despite receiving an invitation. However, members and supporters of PH parties are free to attend as part of exercising democratic rights,” Asmirul, who also chairs Kedah Amanah, told FMT.
“I’ve been informed that the rally is being organised by NGOs who intend to present 10 demands to the state government.
“These reportedly include matters related to entrepreneurship, land taxes, agriculture, and sports.”
Promotional items for the rally have gone viral on TikTok, with claims that it is being organised by the Sekretariat Suara Anak Kedah, and widely shared by supporters of the unity government.
The rally is expected to take place in front of the Kedah menteri besar’s office at Wisma Darul Aman.
Kedah police chief Adzli Abu Shah said the organisers have yet to submit any formal notification for the gathering.
He said he had only learned about the event through social media and is still waiting for official details from the organisers.
