We urge the community here to comply with standard operating procedures (SOP) under Phase One of the National Recovery Plan," said Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Commissioner, CP Dato' Azmi Abu Kassim.
Earlier this month, Sekretariat Solidariti Rakyat (SSR) vowed to hold a protest on August 21 demanding Tan Sri Dato' Haji Muhyiddin Haji Mohd. Yassin resign as prime minister.
On Thursday (August 19) they called off the protest following Tan Sri Muhyiddin's resignation.
SSR also said that the #Lawan movement would go on as part of democratic process, citing the need for checks and balances on the government's actions.
