KUALA LUMPUR, May 8 — Some 50,000, mostly dressed in black, have packed
the Stadium MBPJ while thousands others are trying to get in for a rally
for free and fair elections organised by Pakatan Rakyat (PR) Stadium
MBPJ in Kelana Jaya near here tonight.
The evening shower caused traffic congestion but most of the crowd
dropped off at the Kelana Jaya LRT station and walked to the stadium
near the Subang Airport road.
Among those speaking at the rally are opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and DAP strongman Lim Kit Siang.
Anwar arrived after 10pm on a scooter and was greeted with loud roars
that echoed through the stadium by the crowd who chanted "Kami Anak
Malaysia". Thousands dressed in black have packed the stands and also
the football pitch in the stadium.
"This is the beginning of a battle between the rakyat and an
illegitimate, corrupt, and arrogant government," the PKR de facto leader
told the crowd.
Traffic remains backed up around Kelana Jaya right up to the NPE toll plaza near Sunway.
