"Certainly, Umno and BN don't want this to happen because it is sinful," he said, adding that a candidate winning a seat through such a manner is "haram" (forbidden).
Six gathering points
The police has disallowed Bersih 3.0 sit-in on grounds of safety while the Kuala Lumpur City Hall, which maintains Dataran Merdeka, has objected to the usage of the iconic location for political dissent.
The Bersih 2.0 steering committee is however adamant on assembling at Dataran Merdeka.
The committee has also listed the gathering points for would-be protesters - Masjid Negara, Masjid Jamek, Pasar Seni, Masjid India, Brickfields and Jalan Sultan - before they proceed to Dataran Merdeka.
Bersih 3.0, among others, is calling for the resignation of the Election Commission chief for his failure to clean up the electoral roll before the upcoming election, which is speculated to be held in the second quarter of this year.
