HATTRICK FOR ANWAR: Even 'Rosmah' attends GE13 FRAUD rally in Ipoh


HATTRICK FOR ANWAR: Even 'Rosmah' attends GE13 FRAUD rally in Ipoh
UPDATED WITH VIDEOS It looks like Anwar Ibrahim is on his way to scoring a hattrick. With two 'sell-out' rallies in Kelana Jaya, Selangor and Batu Kawan, Penang already tucked under his belt, the third gathering in Ipoh, Perak to protest "stolen" electoral victory has pulled in another hundred thousand Malaysians including 'Rosmah' - the controversial wife of Prime Minister Najib Razak.
Of course, it is only an impersonator and not the self-styled First Lady of Malaysia herself but certainly Rosmah or rather her image is still a crowd-puller although not all who crowded around her impersonator had complimentary comments to make.
But by 10pm, more than 100,000 people had filled the lanes of the Medan Istana commercial center in Ipoh town. A mixed crowd was present, where again, young Malaysians outnumbered the middle-aged and senior citizens, and despite having to sit on the roads, their enthusiasm was inspiring to the Pakatan Rakyat leaders who were visibly touched by the response.
Of the 3 rallies held so far, the Ipoh event had been expected to be the quietest due to a hostile state government. As it turned, perhaps due to the tighter surroundings, the feeling of rapport and participation may have been the greatest and the most lively.
"No one can stop the wave. This is natural feeling, we didn't pay them or offer any food. They just want to share with us the anger at how Najib and Umno-BN stole GE13 from us," PKR assemblyman for Teja Chang Lih Kang told Malaysia Chronicle.
On the eve of May 13, Anwar warns Umno
And on the eve of May 13, a date that has many painful memories for Malaysian Chinese, Anwar did not disappoint. He tacked the 'sensitive' issue of Section 153 in the Malaysian constitution, which touches on the special position of the Malays. He reiterated that the federal Constitution would be respected, and Section 153 would be maintained.
Anwar also lambasted Prime Minister Najib Razak and Umno-BN for continuously raising the spectre of the May 13, 1969 racial riots to scare the Chinese community into docility and to stir up hatred amongst the Malays for the Chinese.
"What is wrong with non-Malays and non-Muslims to want to be respected and their rights upheld?," Anwar said. "Tomorrow is May 13, someone warned me 'be careful, it is still strong in the memory of the people."
"[But] Our language, our understanding is no longer like in the 1960s, our young are now confident. This is your country, this is your land - the Malays, the Chinese, the Kadazans and the Ibans. If you believe, then save your country, save your future, your family. Stop corruption and abuse of power, throw out arrogant leaders. Rise and throw them out."
This is not about polemics or anyone political party
Earlier, the 64-year-old was forced come to the rally on a motorbike due to the massive traffic congestion as tens of thousands thronged the area. He was immediately mobbed by the crowd. Labelled a political chameleon by his nemesis and former boss, Mahathir Mohamad, Anwar certainly called it right this round, in refusing to concede defeat in the May 5 general election.
From the ashes of what he has alleged was a most unjust loss, he has turned the crisis to his advantage. If before he was already among the top 3 most popular leaders in the country, he is now in a class all of his own.
And it is not all about blind hero-worship. For his supporters and many Malaysians, Anwar represents their hope to a just Malaysia where law and order can persist without being twisted at the whim and fancy of the Umno elite, which has ruled Malaysia since 1957.
"What type of Islam are they (Umno-BN) practising? In Islam, you cannot have racism. To me, I say work with the non-Muslims who are decent, righteous and have principles rather than with those who follow Islam but are corrupt and cheat their own citizens," said Anwar.

  1. Just wondering!!!

    Do these political icons hold other citizenship status in other countries ?????
    Or just Die hard Malaysians?????

    The reality is that when trouble sparks into flames, who do we turn to butt out the flames?

    Will it be the trouble makers ?????

    Please give a thought for the future generations.
