The calm night before the expected stormy rallies of Saturday

As night fell on the eve of the Bersih 5 and red-shirts counter-rally, Malaysians could finally get a breather.

It had been a dramatic day, with 12 pre-rally arrests and hundreds of red-shirts occupying Masjid Negara, a gathering point for the Bersih 5 rally.

The hour-long heavy downpour in Kuala Lumpur provided a sense of calm.

However, the police were in action, making their 11th arrest at Masjid Negara - in the form of Razali Zakaria, the lieutenant of Sungai Besar Umno chief Jamal Md Yunos.

It was the first red-shirts arrest. Razali had taken charge at Masjid Negara while Jamal was no where to be seen.

With the arrest, the red-shirts faded away with the rain.
