About 150, including party leaders such as Bersama's Wong Chen, DAP Youth vice-chief Raja Ahmad Iskandar Fareez, and PBM info chief Ronnie Liu, gather outside Sogo.
About 150 people gathered outside the Sogo shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur to protest against the alleged corporate mafia and the detention of two Mandiri activists. The protesters demanded a royal commission of inquiry into the corporate mafia allegations, an end to double standards in law enforcement, and an end to the maltreatment of activists.
Mandiri executive director Amir Hadi questioned the use of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 against activists, emphasizing that authorities should not be able to silence the voice of the people.
