KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's aide said he is aware of the upcoming"Turun Anwar" rally, reportedly led by the opposition party Pas.

He added that the Prime Minister has asked the police to offer appropriate cooperation and facilitation for the rally.

Anwar's senior press secretary Tunku Nashrul Abaidah said in a daily briefing today that the Prime Minister reaffirmed his government's commitment to upholding the Federal Constitution, democratic values, and the spirit of reform.

"As someone who strongly upholds constitutional principles and reformist ideals, the Prime Minister urges that any form of protest or public gathering be conducted peacefully, respectfully, and with full adherence to the law," Tunku Nashrul said.

He added that Anwar has also directed the police to cooperate with organisers and ensure public safety without resorting to any form of intimidation or unnecessary restriction.

"The Prime Minister has instructed the police to assist in ensuring the rally proceeds smoothly and safely, in line with Malaysia's democratic principles," the statement read.

The government's stance, Tunku Nashrul said, remains consistent, stating that the Madani administration celebrates democracy, not suppresses it.

"The right to speak out, even when it comes from those who oppose the government, is an essential element of any free and just nation. Under Prime Minister Anwar's leadership, such space is not only preserved but also respected."

He said any public disagreement, including through peaceful demonstrations, would not be met with arbitrary suppression, so long as such actions do not violate the law or threaten public safety.

"Let us uphold democracy with reason, maturity, and responsibility. The Madani government stands strong not by shutting down criticism, but by opening space for dialogue, patience, and dignity," Tunku Nashrul said.
