Despite a heavy downpour, over 10,000 people of mainly Malay working class gathered in a field behind the Angkasapuri complex, to hear de facto PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim’s rallying call for change.
"If we win, the very next day I will lower petrol prices," promised the former deputy prime minister and finance minister.
"If we win, tomorrow there will be free education," he said, receiving a thunderous response accompanied by cries of "reformasi".
Since PKR announced that it would abolish the New Economic Policy (NEP) and instead help the needy from all ethnic groups, there has been a mixed reaction from the majority Malay community.
BN cannot afford to allow Anwar’s daughter Nurul Izzah to win in Lembah
Pantai, as she has indicated that she may step down to allow her father to contest in the seat once he becomes eligible to run next month.
He called on voters to take a step forward and create change. "This is the time for change, we can do it. They (BN) can cheat, but even so, they cannot cheat by much. We have more people here," he said.
"They offer food, take their food, take whatever they give but vote for change."
