About 1,000 rally-goers are gathered at Jalan Petaling demanding that the police let them through.
The police had earlier declared that Jalan Petaling, popularly known as Chinatown, was out of bounds to the rally-goers.
Meanwhile, the majority of the rally-goers are at Padang Merbok, listening to speeches from the leaders.
“We were not a multi-cultural society then but through negotiations and give-and-take, we accepted the other races,” said Perkasa president Datuk Ibrahim Ali.
“We gave them citizenship. We gave them our nationality and thought they will be grateful.
“But I don’t blame the Chinese. The ones that are ruining our unity is DAP, the party that was born from Singapore’s PAP,” Ibrahim said to loud cheers from the crowd.
The crowd at Padang Merbok has almost filled the entire field, after marching from various meeting points around the city.
Earlier this afternoon, a crowd of "red shirt" rally-goers who gathered at the Pavilion mall in Jalan Bukit Bintang, made their way to Low Yat Plaza, despite warnings yesterday by the police that these areas were out of bounds. However, no trouble ensued as they just chanted and went along their way to Padang Merbok, via Jalan Sultan Ismail.
Low Yat Plaza was the scene of a disturbance in July after handphone traders caught a thief and handed him over to the authorities. Following that incident, a group of about 200 people, some of them said to be members of Malay rights group Pekida, staged a demonstration outside the complex during which several people were hurt. - TMI
