The police have given conditional approval for two Sabah-based NGOs to hold a protest against the implementation of the Sabah Temporary Pass (PSS) in Membakut three days before the Jan 18 Kimanis by-election.

Sabah People’s Education Improvement Organisation (Pipa) committee member Benjamin Ondoi told Malaysiakini that the police gave their nod on Jan 12.

They are allowed to gather at Pekan Lama Membakut, which is in the Kimanis parliamentary constituency, from 9am to 11am on Wednesday.
