DBKL tutup Dataran Merdeka selama 48 jam...

Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) akan menutup selama 48 jam Dataran Merdeka - yang mahu digunakan oleh BERSIH untuk mengadakan perhimpunan bantah duduk Sabtu ini - berkuatkuasa jam 6 pagi esok.

Arahan tersebut dikeluarkan oleh Datuk Bandar Kuala Lumpur, Tan Sri Ahmad Fuad Ismail  dalam satu kenyataan petang ini.
Berikutan itu  Dataran Merdeka akan ditutup kepada orang awam, mulai jam 6 pagi Jumaat sehingga 6 pagi Ahad ini.

Menurutnya, Dataran Merdeka akan ditutup sementara kepada orang awam dalam tempoh tersebut mengikut Seksyen 65 Akta Kerajaan Tempatan 1976.

Semalam Ahmad Fuad memberi amaran kepada Gabungan Pilihan Raya Bersih dan Adil (BERSIH) dan penyokongnya bahawa tindakan keras akan diambil jika mereka meneruskan hasrat untuk berhimpun di Dataran Merdeka pada 28 April ini.

DBKL locks down Dataran for 48 hours...

Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) will enforce a 48 hour lock down on Dataran Merdeka from 6am tomorrow morning.

In a statement date this evening, Kuala Lumpur mayor Ahmad Fuad Ismail said restriction will be enforced based on Local Government (Dataran Merdeka) (Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur) By-Laws 1992 and Section 65 of the Local Government Act 1976.

Ahmad Fuad (right) said the restriction will be lifted at 6am on Sunday morning.

The short one-paragraph statement was issued late this evening.

This comes just 24 hours after a meeting between Ahmad Fuad and Bersih 2.0's steering committee broke down.

Yesterday, Ahmad Fuad had urged Bersih to move its Bersih 3.0 rally  away from Dataran Merdeka, citing security concerns and public order.

However, Bersih is adamant on holding the rally at Dataran Merdeka because it was too late to change venues as many of its supporters may not receive the instruction in time. 

Bersih co-chairperson Ambiga Sreenevasan said that there will be a bigger problem for the authorities if the group had to turn away people from Dataran Merdeka and re-direct them to Stadium Merdeka, which is about a kilometre away.

When informed about the matter, the student groups that are currently occupying Dataran Merdeka said they will not budge unless threatened.


Another group, Occupy Dataran, which has joined the student's sit-in - now in its 13th day - said they will convene a meeting a midnight before deciding on their next move.
