Senior Assistant Commissioner Zaihairul Idrus, acting state police chief, said investigators will summon the organiser for further statements. The force confirmed it had received a report from UMNO Youth Perlis, which urged immediate action against anyone stirring unrest or threatening public order.
Zaihairul also warned the public against exploiting the 3R issues—race, religion and royalty—which he said could fracture the state’s hard-won harmony.
Earlier, Menteri Besar Abu Bakar Hamzah advised committees running unlicensed places of worship to settle disputes through talks with the state government instead of unauthorised construction.
