The police have warned the public not to assemble outside Istana Iskandariah in Kuala Kangsar, Perak, this afternoon.

Stating that stern action would be taken against those who do, Perak police chief Zulkefli Abdullah said the public should not be influenced by text messages calling on the Malays to gather outside the palace.

He said no permit or application had been granted for any assembly, adding that action would also be taken against the organisers.

"Police will take action on those holding any assembly anywhere because it will lead to an undesireable outcome," he was quoted as saying by Bernama.

He was commenting on the spread of text messages calling on the Malays to a rally at Istana Iskandariah to protest against the DAP "for challenging Malay supremacy."
