Video of massive crowd in red from Taiwan rally, not Harapan

 

A user-submitted video of a mass rally was sent together with an audio clip, in which a man claims the video shows an unprecedented crowd supporting a Pakatan Harapan rally in Kelantan.

This has been widely shared on WhatsApp.

Faqcheck Lab has reviewed the video and found the claims in the audio clip to be false.

The video in question was in fact recorded on June 22, 2019, showcasing a rally for the then-Taiwanese presidential candidate, Han Kuo-yu.

Taiwan FactCheck Center identified the location of the rally that took place in Taiwan in June 2019
