Police tracking down Jerit campaign mastermind

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 13 — The police will track down the mastermind behind the “cycling for change” campaign organised by an unregistered organisation known as the Jaringan Rakyat Tertindas (Jerit) or “oppressed people’s network”.

The campaign, in which a politician was allegedly involved, started early this month and would end next week with the handing over of a memorandum to the government.

Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar said police would not compromise with any individual who organised the illegal activity.

“The activity gives rise to unlawful elements like mass gathering and rallying without permit,” he told reporters after opening the police sports carnival at the police training centre today.

He said the organiser had also allowed children to take part in the activity.

“The rally also creates disturbance to public order. So I’m advising members of the public not to get involved as action will be taken against them,” he added. — Bernama
