Anwar gives last-minute boost to daughter Nurul Izzah

8.30pm - Lembah Pantai – PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim makes a brief visit to Lembah Pantai to give his daughter Nurul Izzah one last push in her bid to defend Lembah Pantai.

Addressing a boisterous crowd of about 12,000 people, he said he came to Lembah Pantai because he has heard that dubious voters will be voting here by post, or being flown in by plane. In addition, he claims that the BN chief has named Nurul Izzah as one of three Pakatan Rakyat’s young leaders that must be defeated “at all cost”.

“Since we know there will be fraud, we must remain vigilant. Everyone must go vote early and after that, keep watch at the polling stations. Stand guard, Chinese, Indians, and Malays, stand guard, please. 

“This is our battle. This is going to be our victory, and no one has the right to steal it from us,” he said, before rushing to catch a flight to two speaking engagements in mainland Penang tonight.

Just two hours ago, the Anwar was speaking in Tambun, Perak, where he arrived from earlier speech on Penang island.
