DESPITE HUGE RALLYS TURNOUT, VOTES NOT GUARANTEED?

PETALING JAYA, Malaysia — Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim admitted today that the huge turnouts at Pakatan Rakyat’s (PR) rallies may not necessarily translate to votes.
The PKR de facto leader, however, said the large numbers could reflect some “measure of enthusiasm” that can be taken as a positive sign for the federal opposition pact ahead of the May 5 polls.
“Not necessarily, you are right there,” replied Anwar when asked if he felt the crowd size at PR’s nightly ceramahs could indicate growing support for the bloc.
“But the size of the crowd, it is clearly resounding. It will reflect some measures of enthusiasm because we don’t provide buses, we don’t provide free food, we don’t provide RM20 allowance and some others do,” he added.
