“I suggest that Najib spends his time reading books, ‘wirid’ a lot, memorise the Quran.

“But still, you must return the money you had taken,” Anwar told the audience.
Thousands brave rain in Batu Kawan Harapan ceramah
7am: Batu Kawan, Penang - A 100m-long canopy set up at the Juru pasar malam site was full of Pakatan Harapan supporters last night as over a thousand people braved the rain to listen to speeches of their favourite political leaders at a mega ceramah.
Some supporters appeared soaked by the downpour that began at 8pm, but this failed to dampen their spirits.
Muda Kepala Batas candidate Danial Majeed, former Balik Pulau MP Ismadi Yusof, and Harapan candidates for Tasek Gelugor (Nik Abdul Razak Nik Md Ridzuan), Bukit Gelugor (Ramkarpal Singh), Balik Pulau (Muhammad Bakhtiar Wan Chik), DAP chairperson Lim Guan Eng and Penang chief minister Chow Kon Yeow were among the speakers who kept the crowd stitched until the end of the ceremah.
The speakers appealed to the crowd to come out in full force to vote and return Harapan to Putrajaya.
