Sungai Besar Umno leader Jamal Yunos said that he fully supported the decree by the Selangor Sultan, that there should be no more abuses of hearses, including being used for protest purposes.

He noted that the restriction may not have been clear before and clarified that his use of the hearses was only symbolic to represent a serious issue facing the state.

"Maybe the matter was not clear before and today I fully support the Sultan's decree to ensure that there will be no more abuse of hearses.

"I just want to say that the letter only came today, and what I did before this was using the hearses as a symbolic representation of state allocation for funerary arrangements that were misused," he told reporters after a forum in Shah Alam today.
