Ng is deputy commander of the PPS.
He was arrested at 1pm today at the Patani Road district police headquarters in Penang, for violating the Societies Act 1966, after he arrived to give a statement.
Ng was called to be present at the police station at 12.30pm to have a statement recorded before he was arrested.
Penang executive councillor Phee Boon Poh, who is the chairperson for PPS, will also be present at the same police station at 8.30pm tonight.
Phee, along with 155 other PPS members, had already been arrested after attending the state Merdeka Parade at the Esplanade on Sunday, before they were released on police bail on Monday.
The police are cracking down on PPS following Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar’s declaration that PPS as illegal as it is not registered with the Registrar of Societies.
Timur Laut district police chief ACP Mior Faridalatrash Wahid later confirmed with reporters that Ng was detained under Section 43 of the Societies Act 1966.
