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.
More pics here.
Dont be over confident la…
Those are not necessarily voters
Make sure ALL non-supporters become supporters
Make sure ALL supporters become activists
Make sure all activists have the quality of candidates (but not demanding/threatening to be a candidate
Make sure ALL supporters (who are registered as voters) irrespective of their location on this planet, come out (or come back) and VOTE
It is the ballot box that matters..!!

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.

The estimation is obviously too “over”. I’ve seen many high school assemblies with thousands of students which are smaller in size covering the field of the school. They were standing near each other just like this yet there were only approximately 3000 to 3500 students. Let’s say these crowds here covered five times the size of the school field (which is huge compared to that street) I had just mentioned it would only be approximately 15000 to 17500 people there.

Let’s not be over confident. Supporters are not necessary voters. So let’s have more people stepping forward and be counted. The way najib is moving, I’m afraid the days of I give my vote to PR might be enough anymore. Do more.

There will be more media blackouts and oppressions and baning of flags of Pakatan coalitions who are not contesting in the by-elections. If the EC and police ban us from displaying our party flags, we can still wear our party t-shirts and caps to show undivided support for pakatan’s coalition which is contesting. Nothing gonna stop us now! Hidup ketuanan rakyat.

NTV7 news didn’t even mentioned a word on the huge support. They only talked about the Jerai PKR division – TV will balckout when things are doing well for PR. Let’s work harder to ensure 3 wins!

please do not pull numbers out of a hat.
and how about malaysiakini and all you hostile bloggers showing pictures of BN supporters?
and my sources tell me three-quarters of those so-called pakatan supporters are from outside perak, hence they are non-voters.
anyway, it’ll be a lose-lose situation for BN. 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 voters.

Hidup YB Nizar the TRUE MB of Perak !
A Leader of Great principles & integrity not to mention intelligence and one who like YB Anwar Ibrahim care for ALL the RACES unlike Umno who only care for Umnoputras !
This by election is about choosing between Good Governance,
Fairness, Truth & integrity vs Corrupt, Racist Deceit & Arrogance.
Remember ALTANTUYA and all the LIESSTEALINGS of the whole stinking episode………that stinks to high heaven !
…
Hidup REFORMASI ! Hidup Pakatan Rakyat ! Hidup Nizar !
Hidup KEBENARAN !

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…!”
The ballot box is the one to watch for ok………..??????
Tun Dr. Mahatir said “Why do they need 6 hours just to count 750 votes…????”
