Lim Kit Siang and DAP have been rejected as rally turnout speaks volumes

Today DAP will try to say 25,000 people graced the ‘Sayang Malaysia, Hapuskan Kleptokrasi’ rally at Padang Timur, PJ. They had once targeted 100,000 people and were convinced with the number. The number that actually showed a up was way way lower.

Many pictures were being shared online since 1pm on Saturday, and the afternoon crowd was so miserable many opposition leaders were still urging people to come through their social media sites.

The final numbers by the police stood at around 4,000 people. Most of the people arrived at night and yet when you scrutinise the pictures online, you will see gaps of space on the field and empty spaces behind the crowd.

The rally looked as dull as the Liverpool and Manchester United match on Saturday that promised action but delivered nothing.

This sends a clear message to Lim Kit Siang and DAP that control most of Petaling Jaya, the people are fed up with the lies and promises of the Opposition, they are not braving the sun or rain to hear the same rhetoric again and again.

Despite PJ being controlled by DAP assemblymen, the crowd looked weak and unenthusiastic to say the least. Traffic was not to bad either.

This is a clear sign of change to come. People will reject the alliance of Lim Kit Siang and Tun Mahathir, and that was evident today.

People have been fooled by Lim Kit Siang before, they were once asked to rally with PAS and they did, now they were asked to rally with Mahathir and Bersatu, but they rejected it. No more fooling the people.

I congratulate Malaysians for seeing the bigger picture and rejecting Lim Kit Siang and Mahathir's rally. This is a convincing sign that the country can move in the right direction once again.

I urge Malaysians to reject Lim Kit Siang and DAP once again when they cast their votes in the next General Election. This will force the opposition to go back to the drawing board and correct their wrongs.
