The Centre for Public Policy Studies disagrees with the set-up of Police roadblocks in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor as a method of preventing peaceful public gatherings. Although the Police have every right to fulfill their mandate to protect law and order, peaceful demonstrations do not pose a threat to the security of the public. Public safety is of little use if
the people cannot enjoy it; the role of the Police is to ensure peaceful demonstrations remain peaceful and safe, not to obstruct them and prevent the expression of public sentiment.
