According to chairperson Jamal Md. Yunos, previous Bersih rallies have caused conflict in the country and affect the country's image in foreign tourists' eyes
"I am calling on police to take stern action against its organisers, especially its chairperson, Maria Chin Abdullah. I am calling on police to arrest and charge those involved as previous assemblies brought a host of problems," he said when speaking at the assembly in front of Sogo shopping centre in Kuala Lumpur today.
