Stones, eggs rain on Anwar's ceramah



Stones and eggs were again thrown at a Pakatan Rakyat ceramah, causing one senior citizen to suffer injuries to the head.

The man was bleeding from his head and barely conscious when taken away to seek medical attention.

According to eyewitnesses, the projectile was hurled into the crowd from an Umno function at the Pantai Dalam Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) quarters next door.

Despite the disruptions, the ceramah was able to proceed as participants remained calm and allowed Anwar to finish his speech.

Another projectile victims was 12-year-old Nurul Balqis, who was struck by a fist-sized flying brick on her wrist.

Following the ugly incidents, a group of PKR supporters marched towards some 200 Umno supporters, who are no more than 20 meters away, while police rushed in to intervene.

However, with only a brick-and-mortar fence separating the opposing groups, the PKR supporters continued to be pelted with stones and water bottles for some time.

Earlier, at about 9pm, some 80 people in red shirts gathered outside the PKR ceramah venue and chanted "Tibai (whack)", which is the acronym of a newly formed anti-Anwar group.

This is the third time in a week in which stones and eggs were thrown at a Pakatan ceramah.
The latest incidents happened at Merlimau, Malacca on Saturday, and Bangi, Selangor on Monday.
The speech of the local MP Nurul Izzah Anwar was also disrupted, with the power cut occurring just as she was starting to speak, and green lasers aiming for her and the VIP tent from the nearby staff quarters just afterwards.
This is the worst ever, decries Nurul

Once the electricity supply was restored, Nurul continued her speech but flinched shortly after, prompting her bodyguard to rush towards her.
Speaking to reporters later, she said she felt something landing near her feet. She did continue her speech afterwards.

Nurul and another speaker, PKR Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin, were targetted with green laser pointers while they were speaking.
"I have been campaigning for a long time, since (my predecessor) Shahrizat Abdul Jalil's reign, but this is the worst ever.

"(But) I think this is the last time BN would form the government," she said to the cheers of some 1,000 present.

PKR Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin was also briefly targeted with green lasers during his speech.

The ceramah ended at midnight, with a speech prayer from Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad. Batu MP Chua Tian Chang also spoke at the ceramah.

A van bearing the Information Department's markings was also spotted amongst the Umno group, apparently providing their public address system.
