KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Sungai Besar Umno chief Datuk Seri Jamal Md Yunos told the High Court here that his actions and that of the Red Shirts group were to “deliberately provoke” the Bersih 5.0 rally so that it would be a failure.

Jamal, 48, who was then chairman of the Gabungan Gerakan Merah Malaysia, said he decided to do so after he received information on social media that there was a possibility of a Bersih gathering at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in Sepang, and several strategic places in the country on Nov 19, 2016 .
