Jerit campaign cyclist arrested near Kulim

anineltto |

Just received word that one of the 45 Jerit cyclists heading from Alor Star to KL via Penang has been arrested in the small village of Merbau Pulas near Kulim this evening.

According to Sungai Siput MP Jeyakumar Devaraj, Ruben was detained for distributing leaflets which did not indicate the Jerit office address. Leaflets are supposed to bear the publisher’s name and address. The Jerit leaflets only displayed the Jerit website address, the Jerit email, and the Jerit office phone number.

But the Jerit website shows the Jerit office address.

Jeyakumar Devaraj, the MP for Sungai Siput, is now at the Sungai Karangan police station near Kulim, where he is negotiating with the officers.

The cyclists are due to be flagged off from Penang on 6 December by Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng....read more.
