Datuk Jamal Md Yunos, the leader of the Red Shirts and the Sungai Besar Umno division chief, along with his supporters, gathered in Sabak Bernam with the explicit aim of stopping Bersih 2.0's nationwide convoy. The convoy was en route as part of the lead-up to a larger rally scheduled for November 19.
