A massive crowd pouring into the streets of Taiping on Nomination Day yesterday – Photo courtesy of Wartawan Rasmi Laman Reformasi (Click to expand)
My contact at the scene yesterday estimated the crowd at 30,000-50,000. It was a huge show of support for Nizar.
Another Perakian reports:
Taiping was jammed and packed with supporters. The police presence was felt with a helicopter above. Pakatan had 30,000 supporters compared to 5,000 for BN. We had fun with the Mexican wave, Indian dancing, crowd singing, families on an outing, young adults and old retirees. All converged into melting pot of Malays, Chinese and Indians.
Malays holding DAP flags. Indians wearing Pas T-shirts. Chinese chatting with one and all. People came from as far as Trengganu, Tampin, Damansara, Shah Alam, etc. Only sour note was when Karpal’s was pelted with water bottles by Umno Youth.

I find it amusing when the MSM too enbarrased to show a puny BN crowd take only close up shots.

Taipingite,
with all the slanted official media (including our tax-funded RTM) and BN using tax-sponsored resources (remember maximum campaign cost is supposed to be 150KRM for an MP seat), there are still people like you seeing the tree for the forest. Anil and other bloggers owe you and I nothing and would be free to express their opinion if this country were an actual democracy. You should be asking why tax-funded media blatantly support one party if you had any integrity.
By the way, I dare you to demonstrate how this is not accurate: “if nizar wins, it’s people power, makkal sakhti, reformasi, hidup anwar and all that crap; if BN wins, then it’s vote-buying, cheating, postal votes, phantom voter”.

It was massive… real massive support for Nizar. Democracy is at work. Let the best man win the by election. Nizar is a charismatic leader. He is a new found leader for PAS. The people’s general view here is that Nizar will win because the people here acknowledges him as a man who is highly educated and with Islamic credentials.
hahaha again mr karma keep on dreaming in the fantasy island.keep on dreaming.u are not even a voter in Bkt Gantang.hahaah what a joke.massive joke.

Just make sure the number of voters are in place.
“They might use the already dead to vote…!”
“The Hantus might come out to vote…!”

Tun Dr. Mahatir said “Why do they need 6 hours just to count 750 votes…????”

You can cheat the people sometimes, but you cannot cheat the people always. People are not buying governmnet controlled newspapers as much, why? They know the reason best. It’s only fair that the media cover both PR and BN the same. Watching CNN was just interesting in the run up for the presidency in the US. This should be the way in Malaysia. Then we can talk about 1st class in everything and also Islamic in what we do.
