"Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said the government's actions then was to avoid serious untoward incidences such as attacks on people and burning of shops. He said in a street protest, there was always a possibility that the situation could spiral out of control as some parties with bad intentions might take advantage of the situation. Speaking after chairing the Barisan Nasional supreme council meeting here yesterday, he also regretted that the government's offer to hold the rally in the Shah Alam stadium was not taken up by the Bersih rally organisers.
"That offer of a stadium was never withdrawn. We took that decision to avoid any bad incidents."
Thanking the police, he said their actions during the rally ensured no property was damaged."
