A coalition of NGOs has filed a police report demanding an investigating into the source of funding for Bersih.

Gabungan NGO-NGO Malaysia chairperson Jamal Yunos filed the report with the Dang Wangi district police headquarters this afternoon.

Jamal also submitted documents he had obtained regarding this issue.

He also claimed to have received complaints from 32 youths, claiming they were promised RM300 if they attended the rally.

"They claimed getting RM100 as advance, another RM100 when they attend the rally and the balance after that.

"Each participant will receive clothes and four meals," he told reporters after lodging the report.

He further claimed the money for the organisation to organise its rally came from politicians and businessmen.

Malays urged not to take money

Yesterday, Jamal warned that his coalition would deploy 30,000 people if Bersih went ahead with its Aug 29-30 overnight rally.

He also challenged Bersih to publicly reveal the source of its funds.

"If 100,000 attend the rally, the funds must be more than RM30 million and this does not include the transportation costs.

"I challenge Bersih to tell how it could get so much funds. Could it get sponsorship from outside including from Israel or the Selangor government?" he asekd.

He alleged that money given was in cash and those who wait the full 34 hours at Dataran Merdeka would be paid.

He urged Malays not to take the money as its source could be haram (forbidden), from vice activities such as gambling.

Jamal further hopes police would call the names he had stated in the police report.

"If the source of the money is not legitimate, or haram , police could take action under the existing provisions of the law on the organiser," he said.
