Kuala Lumpur  - Malaysian police on Monday put up roadblocks and intensified security around Parliament following rumours of a massive rally by supporters of opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.

However, by late morning, police began to disperse when nobody showed up for any demonstration.

Members of Anwar's opposition People's Justice Party, or Keadilan, denied they were organizing any sort of protest.

Police prohibited anyone who was not a member of parliament to enter Parliament Monday as part of security efforts and beginning Sunday, placed road blocks around the streets of Kuala Lumpur and conducted random checks on motorists, causing massive jams.

Authorities had earlier obtained a court order barring Anwar and his supporters from being within a five-kilometer radius of Parliament.

Anwar criticized the court order as an "abuse of the legal process."

The supposed rally on Monday was to coincide with an opposition demand for an emergency debate in Parliament on what it says is the public's lack of confidence in the government.

However, the speaker disallowed the motion later Monday, saying the filing of he motion had not adhered to Parliament rules and regulations.

The former deputy premier-turned opposition leader had been due to give his statements to the police on a report lodged by a former male aide claiming Anwar had sodomized him.

However, Anwar said he would not be going in to speak to police as he claimed officers had earlier "intimidated" family members by gathering outside his home and demanding to see him on Sunday.

Anwar's Keadilan party, along with two other opposition parties, together won 82 seats in the 222-member Parliament in March 8 elections, denying the ruling government of a two-thirds majority for the first time in history. (dpa)
