Malaysian police remind TikTok gathering organizers to maintain public order

Kuala Lumpur police have issued a reminder to the organizers of the 'Himpunan Gegar TikTok' event, scheduled for tomorrow at the TikTok headquarters in Sunway Velocity, to comply with all laws and refrain from any actions that could disrupt public order.

Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Datuk Fadil Marsus stated that police will take the firmest possible action against any violence or violations. "If such a gathering is organized, we will ensure everyone's safety is the priority," he said during a press conference after the Launch of the 2025 Traffic Awareness Advocacy at Alam Damai National Secondary School.

Police received information about the event, organized by businessman Albert Tei, and have already held discussions with the organizers. "We have received information through the media and proposals regarding the organization of the gathering. So, we will help facilitate it," he added.

Albert Tei had previously announced that approximately 100 individuals are expected to gather in front of the TikTok headquarters. The assembly, planned for 10 a.m., is intended to give platform users a space to voice grievances about account restrictions and content censorship, which they claim affect freedom of speech. The gathering is also expected to be attended by individuals who have allegedly faced account bans, particularly after criticizing the current Madani government.
