The police claimed that only about 40,000 to 45,000 people had turned out for the Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat Rally (The People's Resurgence/Awakening Gathering or Rally) in Stadium Merdeka yesterday.
They had originally tweeted that there were about 80,000 people inside the stadium!
Well, maybe I have to go back to school to learn to count again.
It seems that arithmetic today is only correct if the authorities say so.
But available videos out there show that the crowd inside the stadium itself easily numbered in the 60,000 to 70,000 or more.
What about the crowds out there and those who could not even get near?
Malaysia Chronicle reports that the organisers claimed that the total number of people who had turned out to support the rally exceeded 300,000! If so, that would be the largest crowd ever in a rally in Malaysian history!
This should send shivers down the spine of Najib and his administration. But I guess these guys are immune to anything except to cows and condos or submarines and subletting. Ha ha.
This is perhaps the best video of the rally I have seen. Click to check it out

Kluang Town - Click To Visit
Kluang was a sleepy hollow, but is fast becoming a bustling town. You can't miss the bust-shaped gunung Lambak lording over the place and the town is well known for its tv brand coffee powder
Kluang RailCoffee
The Kluang railway station coffee shop, now re-branded Kluang RailCoffee, is well known for its cuppa of coffee and the charcaol grilled piping hot buns oozing with butter and kaya...It used to attract standing-room only crowds. It still does, but the last time I was there it wasn't a good experience for me. The famous coffee had somewhat lost its oomph and even the buns...The shop has a long and noted history being first opened for business in 1938 and the place is now run by the 3rd generation LIm family. I hope the next time I return, the coffee would regain its oomph. Click to read more...
