Despite objection from the police, the PKR’s women’s wing announced today that it will go ahead with its “walkathon” event this Saturday in support of the Nov 19 Bersih 5 rally in Kuala Lumpur.

Its deputy chief Haniza Mohamed Talha said participants would start walking at 7.30am from the Brickfields water fountain and head for Dataran Merdeka, a distance of 2.9km.
