A large number of demonstrators also sought shelter at the Suria KLCC Mall, and continued chants of "Bersih, Bersih" in the shopping complex, much to the amusement of shoppers. The rally, which began at various gathering points across Kuala Lumpur on Saturday morning, attracted a significant crowd. More than a dozen other people from both the Red Shirts and Bersih group were also been detained over a 24-hour period surrounding the rally. The rally organisers' original plans to convene in Dataran Merdeka for the finale was halted by police as various barricades and human walls were erected along main roads leading to the square. Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) had prohibited the use of Dataran Merdeka for the Bersih rally and counter-rally held by the Red Shirts.
