BN Selangor poohs 211 rally as 'Pakatan workers'

BN Selangor is unfazed by the turnout at the People’s Uprising Rally yesterday, saying that most of the participants are party workers mobilised from other states.

“We are not worried for a very simple reason: their core group are mainly party workers and I think almost 80 percent were from PAS.

“We have not seen any significant Indian and Chinese support, so it is quite expected. They moved the people from Kelantan, Kedah and everywhere,” said Selangor BN coordinator Mohd Zin Mohamed when met today.

He added that BN has held an even larger event before in Stadium Bukit Jalil on Aug 31 last year, which he claimed drew some 130,000 participants.

Yesterday, an estimated 100,000 people traversed the streets of KL from late morning and gathered at the iconic Stadium Merdeka for the rally, led by Pakatan Rakyat and various NGOs.

Unlike previous mass gatherings such as Bersih 2.0 and 3.0, the authorities had kept to a hands off approach and no untoward incident was reported during the entire duration of the day’s events.
