KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 — Several offices sent their staff home early today as
police began locking down the federal capital ahead of the Bersih rally calling
for free and fair elections tomorrow.National oil company Petronas sent their staff home at 4pm today while other
offices in the 88-storey Petronas Twin Towers closed for the day after lunch. It
is understood the management of the Suria mall beneath the iconic twin towers
will also put up blockades around the shopping complex as a security precaution
although it remains open to the public.

The roadblocks and diversions will affect entry points along the entire stretch of Jalan Syed Putra, Jalan Istana, Jalan Bukit Petaling, Jalan Bellamy and the area surrounding Istana Negara, police said in a posting at the www.rmp.gov.my website.Also affected would be the area surrounding the National Mosque in the Lake Gardens area, covering the entire stretch of Jalan Sultan Hishammuddin, Jalan Lembah Perdana and Jalan Chenderasari.In the city centre, blockades will be set up around Dataran Merdeka, Pasar Seni, Masjid Jamek, Dataran DBKL, Kompleks Sogo, Maju Junction, Masjid Kampung Baru, Jalan Kinabalu, Jalan Kuching, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Jalan Raja Laut, Jalan Sri Amar, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Jalan Haji Taib, Jalan Raja Muda Musa, Jalan Raja Bot, Jalan Raja Abdullah, Jalan Dang Wangi, Jalan Munshi Abdullah, Jalan Gereja, Jalan Raja Chulan, Jalan Tun Perak, Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Loke, Jalan Sultan Mahmud and all areas within their immediate vicinity.
The three main express bus terminals in the city — Puduraya, Putra and Pekeliling — will be closed from midnight to 10pm tomorrow.Buses headed to Hentian Putra will be diverted to the Integrated Transport Terminal-Bandar Tasik Selatan (ITT-BTS), while those headed to Puduraya (except for the KL-Seremban route) and Pekeliling terminal will be rerouted to Hentian Duta – the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) had announced yesterday.Light Rail Transit (LRT) services into the city will operate as usual but a Prasarana spokesman cautioned operations will also depend on instructions from the authorities.
