PETALING JAYA, Malaysia — Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim
admitted today that the huge turnouts at Pakatan Rakyat’s (PR) rallies
may not necessarily translate to votes.
The PKR de facto leader, however, said the large numbers could
reflect some “measure of enthusiasm” that can be taken as a positive
sign for the federal opposition pact ahead of the May 5 polls.
“Not necessarily, you are right there,” replied Anwar when asked if
he felt the crowd size at PR’s nightly ceramahs could indicate growing
support for the bloc.
“But the size of the crowd, it is clearly resounding. It will reflect
some measures of enthusiasm because we don’t provide buses, we don’t
provide free food, we don’t provide RM20 allowance and some others do,”
he added.
