PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim and DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang were herded away at separate functions in Penang and Johor yesterday.

According to Utusan Malaysia , Anwar was asked to leave by the Masjid Jamek Teluk Bahang mosque committee, in Penang, when the politician wanted to deliver a tazkirah (short religious talk) last night.

The paper claimed the committee members felt uncomfortable with Anwar’s action of wanting to talk to the congregants, and had asked him to leave.

NONE The Umno-owned daily further reported that one of Anwar's aides acted rough by scolding the mosque committee and entered the mosque without taking off his shoes.

In Taman Tun Aminah, near Johor Bahru, Lim who is the Gelang Patah parliamentary candidate, was driven off from a stall at a pasar tani, during his campaign rounds.

People wearing BN T-shirts and also alleged supporters of the ruling coalition were eating food and were seen standing and shouting at the DAP delegation and asked Lim to leave and go home.

"You said that you wanted to help the Malays.

"See the Malays in Penang, what happened?" a person was reported by Utusan as saying.

A video of the alleged incident was also uploaded on YouTube .
