Dataran Merdeka will be closed off to the public for the next 48 hours from 6 am tomorrow as the authorities move to prevent the Bersih 3.0 sit-in in the historical square this Saturday.
Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) issued the order after unconfirmed reports said that police have obtained a court order today preventing the use of Dataran Merdeka for a rally.
The move against the electoral reforms movement is seen as a sign that the hawks in PutraJaya have won the day despite their confidence that the rally has no traction.
However, the restriction will be lifted at 6 am on Sunday.
