AMPANG, Nov 22 — “Red Shirts” leader Datuk Seri Jamal Md Yunos claimed his four-day detention has "inspired" him to launch a campaign against the Pakatan Harapan government in Selangor that he will call “Bersih 7”.

The Umno Sungai Besar division chief, who was released on police bail today, said the campaign was so named because it will contain seven demands including clean governance and the push for the Selangor administration to fulfil its election pledges.

Jamal's group was started as a counter to polls reform group Bersih 2.0's rallies.

"I would like to announce the launch of Bersih 7 to save Selangor… I would like to state that the Selangor people must be saved from a government that deceives it," Jamal told reporters outside the Ampang Police District Headquarters here.

"Many of the pledges from their election manifesto have yet to be fulfilled so during my four-day detention, I was inspired. With that inspiration, I give the Selangor people Bersih 7," he added.

Jamal was arrested before dawn last Saturday, just hours before some 3,000 of his followers marched through the city streets in a rally meant to counter Bersih 2.0's fifth street protest on the same day.

In the run-up to the counter rally, the Umno Sungai Besar chief vowed to mobilise as many as 300,000 people.

He was arrested in relation to his involvement in a fracas between followers of his Red Shirts movement and Bersih 2.0 supporters here last week.

Commenting on the Red Shirt rally's low turnout, Jamal dismissed suggestions that the event was a failure and instead declared it a success as "thousands" had marched on despite his arrest.

"What we did, this Red Shirts movement, is a success. I would like to thank all of my friends from various NGOs who showed support and despite my arrest, we fulfilled our promise, our pledge and thousands marched on despite being leaderless," he said.

Jamal said Bersih 7's campaign will begin immediately starting with a rally to be held in front of the Selangor state secretariat building in Shah Alam tomorrow at 3pm.

Tomorrow's rally will also kickstart his Bersih 7's statewide campaign.

The Red Shirts will hold ceramah events in 700 locations, he said.

Jamal was released today, together with four other Red Shirts followers.
