Putting up a map showing the direction to Menteri Besar’s residence will be helpful to those who want to support PR but not familiar with the roads in Ipoh.

but there are no report there. strange i don’t see other reports. oh i did read somewhere think mentioned about 100 thousand people showed up. but there’s a confusion. at first it was at the MB’s house right, then the change of venue to the stadium but later i see (from anil’s blog) it was back to the MB’s house. well maybe later today we will see more bloggers reporting on it.

oh no sorry. there was a report – from the live coverage report. i didn’t notice it at first because it was put on hold.
