KUALA LUMPUR, April 27 (Xinhua) -- Malaysian police sealed off Dataran Merdaka, or the Independence Square in the city center of Kuala Lumpur on Friday, in a bid to stop the electoral activists to hold a mass sit-in rally there.

The city mayor Ahmad Fuad Ismail said in a statement that Dataran Merdeka and all roads leading to it would be closed from 6 a.m. Friday to 6 a.m. on Sunday hermes belts replica, and no gathering would be allowed at the square without his written consent.

The Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih), which demanded electoral reforms to be imposed before the coming general election, has called for a mass rally, Bersih 3.0, at the square on Saturday.

The group which organized protests against the rare earth refinery in Malaysia set up by Australian miner Lynas, as well as some opposition leaders, have decided to join the rally.

Malaysian Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said the police have been instructed to handle the planned Bersih 3.0 rally in the context of security should the organisers be adamant in using Dataran Merdeka as the venue.

Hishammuddin said the issue was not whether the government wanted to stop the rally. "It is just the location."

The government has suggested several stadiums as alternatives, but were declined by the organizers.

"If they do continue to go to the street and Dataran Merdeka, that is an issue for the police to look into," Hishammuddin said.

Bersih held a similar rally on July 9 last year,one of the largest ever in the country, when tens of thousands of people marched to downtown Kuala Lumpur demanding a clean and fair election.

Police arrested about 1,600 people and fired tear gas and water cannon to disperse the crowd.

Even some opposition leaders have voiced concern for the rally on Saturday. Although the organizers insisted the rally will be peaceful cheap gucci belts, but Abdul Aziz Ibrahim, vice-chairman of the opposition Democratic Action Party, said demonstrations will always end up in violence.

"When London was besieged with the demonstrators, the country was in a chaotic state, and I do not want Bersih 3.0 to have the same impact in the country," he said.
