Umno man runs down Bersih's leader, says he's eager to hold counter-demonstration against Bersih 5.

UPDATED 1.13PM | Electoral reform group will call a press conference on Sept 14 to announce rally date.

To date, the electoral watchdog has not announced the date or venue for the rally.

'Police have no right not to allow my rally,' he says.

UPDATED 2.49PM | Uncowed, Maria also holds the government responsible.

Its chief Maria Chin says talks to fix the date are still going on.

Party hasn't discussed rally yet because they aren't sure if it will even happen.

What does it take to remove an alpha male lion from its pride? If a cackling hyena comes to overthrow an alpha male, wouldn’t the whole pride stand together and repel the aggressors?

Only another mature male lion (or a group of male lions) of similar or greater strength can replace the alpha, taking over the pride.

'Public assembly is a fundamental right, but we must have people from the rural areas, too,” says Arutchelvan.

UPDATED 3.38PM | ‘These are some scenes at Bersih street demo in the past. This is what may happen. Avoid it.'

Everyone who loves this country has to play their part otherwise failure is ours, says Maria Chin.

Its deputy chief Tuan Ibrahim says the party’s position will be announced in the future.

Previous rallies saw violence, damage to property and massive traffic jams, says Tan Keng Liang.

UPDATED 6.35PM | Its chairperson says the details will be announced in due course.

UPDATED 11.21PM | Khalid responded when asked on the possibility of the NSC Act being invoked against Bersih 5 rally.

Bersih chairperson Maria Chin says more consultation is needed.

It needs to be about dignity, integrity of Malays.
