PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim sang praises for the participants of a Pakatan Rakyat rally in Kelana Jaya last night for braving the rain and traffic jam to protest against electoral fraud.

In a press release today, Anwar said that Malaysians from all walks of life had showed courage and determination last night for a noble cause.

NONE "You were peaceful, you showed your allegiance to the Agong and sang the national anthem with pride. You demonstrated clearly that you are indeed a nation united as Bangsa Malaysia," he said.

Tens of thousands of Pakatan supporters flooded the Kelana Jaya stadium yesterday to  put on public display their protest against the Sunday polls alleged electoral fraud.

BN leaders have been quick to point out that despite claims of  fraud, Pakatan won most seats in Selangor, Penang and Kelantan, and that the rally was held because the opposition coalition could not accept that they didn't win federal power.

'Pakatan will not give up'

Anwar said that such an argument was a gross insult to voters.

"It is also a blatant lie. The truth is your victory has been stolen from you. How can that be acceptable?

"You are on the side of truth and truth will triumph over falsehood," he said.

Anwar added that Pakatan's supporters are now suffering from a racist intimidation campaign and urged them to show "steely resolve".

"You will show that you won’t stop until justice and victory is returned to you.

"In all these endeavours, I give you my word that the Pakatan is totally with you. We will stand firmly by you all the way. We will never surrender," he said.
