Recently, the organisers of the ‘Himpunan Rakyat Bersatu’ gathering have received permission from KL City Hall (DBKL) to gather at Padang Merbok between 12pm and 6pm on 16th September 2015. Nadzri said more than 80,000 people were expected to gather at the Padang Merbok and a total of 430 police traffic officers will be deployed to control the traffic flow. Given the number of roads being closed, it might be wise to just stay out of KL tomorrow, or use the LRT.
