District police chief Mohd Azhar Mohd Yusoff, in denying claims by Sekretariat Solidariti Rakyat (SSR), said his officers did not spot any vehicles carrying black flags today.

“We were ready to see if there were any vehicles with black flags around Temerloh,” he added.

SSR, organiser of the event, claimed three people were arrested in Temerloh for taking part in a black flag convoy. The NGO said legal assistance would be offered to those arrested.

They claimed that police also “disturbed” five other convoys held in Selangor, Perak and Sarawak.

The group estimated that more than 100 vehicles had joined in the convoys across the country from 11am to 5pm, adding that most did not encounter any intimidation from the police.

It urged Malaysians to get ready to take to the streets and protest against the Muhyiddin Yassin-led government on July 31, while fully complying with Covid-19 SOPs.
