National laureate A Samad Said has been detained and taken to the Dang Wangi district police headquarters.
Samad told Malaysiakini that the police wanted to record his statement.
"I was just arrested and am on my way to the Dang Wangi police station," he had said when contacted late last night.
The national laureate was sought by the police in connection with the flying of the "Sang Saka Malaya" flag at a Merdeka event last week.
Prior to this, the police had arrested activists Hishammuddin Rais and Adam Adli under the Sedition Act in connection with the same incident.
The duo were released yesterday morning.
