Zamri Vinoth arrested, say cops


PETALING JAYA: Police confirm that controversial preacher Zamri Vinoth has been arrested.

"I can confirm the arrest of Zamri Vinoth together with other named individuals," said Kuala Lumpur police chief Comm Datuk Fadil Marsus on Saturday (Feb 7).

He added that details would be provided later.

In an Instagram story on Saturday (Feb 7), Zamri said he had been arrested and taken to the Dang Wangi police station.

Zamri had earlier insisted that a planned rally against "illegal" temples would proceed on Saturday (Feb 7) night.

Comm Fadil had said the rally would not be allowed to proceed because of public safety concerns.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had also given a stern warning to participants of the planned rally, saying they should not challenge the law or threaten public security.
