Police set up roadblocks, tighten security ahead of rally
KUALA LUMPUR: Police have erected a series of roadblocks and intensified security in strategic locations around the capital ahead of the planned "Turun Anwar" rally scheduled for tomorrow, which is expected to draw crowds of up to 15,000. Roadblocks were observed as early as 11pm yesterday, particularly on major highways and key access roads leading into the city centre. The checks were largely concentrated in densely populated urban areas and routes that serve as main arteries into downtown Kuala Lumpur. Among the identified hotspots were Jalan Gombak, Jalan Kuching, Ampang, Jalan Putra Perdana, Pudu, the Cheras-Kajang Expressway, Jalan Loke Yew, Old Klang Road, Jalan Lapangan Terbang Lama, Jalan Bangsar, and Kajang. Police personnel manning the roadblocks appeared to allow most vehicles through, intervening only when suspicions were aroused. Nevertheless, the heightened presence was clearly intended to act as a deterrent and to maintain order in the lead-up to the protest. A strong police presence was also observed at Dataran Merdeka, where protesters are expected to gather at about 2pm. All access routes into Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad were sealed off with patrol vehicles, forcing traffic headed to Jalan Raja Laut, Masjid Jamek, and surrounding areas to divert. The police have labelled the roadblocks and city-wide surveillance as precautionary measures in light of the rally's expected scale. Speaking on the eve of the rally, Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail reminded the public to follow the laws and observe their boundaries throughout the rally. He also reminded everyone to obey the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012 to avoid unnecessary incidents. Several major roads in the city centre are expected to be affected by traffic diversions in conjunction with the 'Turun Anwar' rally, which is scheduled to take place tomorrow morning. Acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad had said the rally is set to begin simultaneously at five key locations - Masjid Negara, Pasar Seni, Masjid Jamek Sultan Abdul Samad, Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru, and Kompleks Sogo - before participants converge at Dataran Merdeka. Yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim responded to news of the rally with calm, asserting that dissent is a democratic right but should not be used to destabilise governance. "I have no issue with people protesting, it's their right and part of the democratic process," he said, urging police to give full cooperation throughout the gathering. The rally, reportedly spearheaded by a coalition of civil society groups and opposition-aligned activists, is aimed at pressuring Anwar to step down, citing dissatisfaction over economic performance and cost of living concerns. Motorists entering the city are advised to plan alternate routes or use public transportation to avoid potential delays.

Management failures worsened January violence, says prison officer
A Taiping Prison officer told a Suhakam inquiry that the overall environment there was 'unfit for both staff and inmates'. (Facebook pic) KUALA LUMPUR : A Taiping prison officer has criticised the facility's management, saying poor leadership and the inexperience of junior officers contributed to the violent scenes during an inmate relocation exercise in January. Ahmad Rizal, a prison inspector, testifying at a Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) inquiry here today, said many younger officers were ill-equipped to handle high-risk situations and claimed the overall prison environment was 'unfit for both staff and inmates'. He said junior officers were 'not trained or ready' for high-tension operations such as the Jan 17 transfer of more than 100 inmates from Hall B to Hall E. 'I was shocked when I first arrived,' he said, describing the cells as dark and cramped, with barely a few feet of space in each room. Rizal urged Suhakam to recommend improvements to the living conditions at Taiping prison and to consider replacing officers whom he described as unfit to handle volatile situations. He said inmates at other prisons were less likely to lash out due to lower stress levels, citing a more humane environment. Rizal was referring to the root of the Jan 17 incident, where inmates resisted relocation to Hall E after complaining about the lack of proper toilets in the hall's cells. He also alleged that some staff were colluding with inmates to sell banned items. 'We can catch the inmates, but when it comes to officers, we don't have enough proof,' he said. Psychological toll and regrets When shown CCTV footage of the Jan 17 incident, Rizal admitted he lost control and said the experience took an emotional toll on him. 'I couldn't sleep for months. I cried as soon as I got home. I felt like I had failed my family. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to protect them,' he said. He added that he had been undergoing psychiatric treatment since March and is on medication for depression and insomnia. He said his symptoms began in 2023 but worsened during his time at the Taiping prison. He said he had repeatedly asked for a transfer away from high-risk duties, but that his requests were denied. Rizal made these remarks at the Suhakam inquiry into the alleged abuse of more than 100 inmates by around 60 wardens during the Jan 17 relocation. The commission is investigating claims of brutality that allegedly led to the death of one inmate and injuries to several others.
