Selangor PAS said the decision to hold a rally a week ahead of Bersih 5 was a mere a coincidence.

The rally, dubbed the Himpunan Ledakan Suara Rakyat (Lasak), was not meant to "challenge" Bersih 5, said Selangor PAS leader Iskandar Abdul Samad.

"Nov 13 was chosen (for Lasak) because (the date was) after (the tabling of) Budget 2017 and the budget for the Selangor government.

"The event will provide an opportunity for the people to air their views on (both) budgets," he said.
