The police have identified 25 individuals involved in the "Save Malaysia" gathering in Kuala Lumpur on Sept 16 and will begin record their statements today.

Deputy Inspector-General of Police Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said six of them, including a political party leader, would appear at the Dang Wangi police headquarters today and Tuesday.

"Of the 25 individuals involved, we contacted 22 this morning. Five of them will appear at the Dang Wangi police headquarters for questioning tomorrow, one on Tuesday and the others will be called later," he told a press conference at the Kedah police contingent headquarters in Alor Setar yesterday.

Ayob said the gathering had not complied with the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012, citing the failure to give prior notice to the police, its venue at a prohibited place such as a mosque, and the presence of children.

The gathering, which started at 1.15pm on Sept 16, was led by Muafakat Nasional Supreme Council member Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz and Save Malaysia secretariat Badrul Hisham Shaharin, also known as Chegubard.
