Er said he and Tan were only carrying out a 'gotong royong' cleanliness campaign with the theme "Negara Bersih, Rakyat bertuah" ('A clean nation, a fortunate people').
"I think the police are (being) too sensitive. Our theme is Negara Bersih, Rakyat Bertuah, but they didn't accept the explanation,” said the DAP leader.
"We also mentioned that the campaign is not related to Bersih gathering in Kuala Lumpur on 9 July," said Er, but the 20 police officers who arrived at the market soon after they got wind of the group's activity were not convinced.
The others arrested were Johor DAP's youth vice-chief Jason Josob, state committee member Chen Kah Eng, Taman Bukit Indah branch secretary Yan Boon Meng, and political education assistant-director Tang Chee Kia.
