Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak praised the people who attended the launching of the National Cooperatives Day 2011 in Putrajaya today which showed that the people opposed the illegal rally

organised by a small group of people in the country.

“It’s obvious that the thousands who are present (here today) are those who are against the illegal rally planned by a section of our community.

“If there are people who want to hold the illegal rally, there are even more who are against their plan to hold the illegal gathering,” he said when launching the National Cooperatives Day 2011.

Also present was the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

So far, the police had detained over 600 people in several locations around Kuala Lumpur who were suspected of planning to join the illegal rally.
