Recently the government has announced that it will introduce a Goods and Services tax starting in 2015, and also possible increases to electricity tariffs, public transportation fares, highway tolls, property assessment rates and others in 2014. Since the government slashed petrol subsidies in September, prices for many essential goods and services have increased.
In response to a planned rally at Dataran Merdeka on 31st December to protest against the above price hikes, the police today issued a stern warning that individuals or groups would be charged for holding the illegal assembly to overthrow the Government.
Police's logic :
Protest against price hikes = Overthrow the Government
