PETALING JAYA: Datuk Jamal Yunos will not be in Petaling Street where he had earlier warned of another red shirt protest taking place on Saturday.
The Sungai Besar Umno chief told The Star Online that he has nothing to do with tomorrow's rally and will not be there.
"I am not involved and I am not going to be in Petaling Street," he said.
Asked if he has information if protesters will gather in Petaling Street tomorrow, Jamal said he does not know.
"I repeat, I am not involved in the rally, so I do not know if one is really going to take place tomorrow," he added.
Earlier, Jamal said he was present at the Sept 16 rally to counter the Bersih 4 rally "as a middleman."
"The police asked me to help with dispersing the crowd and that is all I did," he said adding that he did not organise the Sept 16 rally or the one to be held tomorrow. He claimed the media had "spun" facts about the rally against him.
On Wednesday, Jamal had warned that another 'commotion' could take place in Petaling Street on Saturday if the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry failed to act on complaints of illegal traders.
Police have warned Jamal that he would be arrested if he was found culpable of instigating chaotic situations.
