It looks like Anwar Ibrahim is on his way to scoring a hattrick.
With two 'sell-out' rallies in Kelana Jaya, Selangor and Batu Kawan,
Penang already tucked under his belt, the third gathering to protest "stolen" electoral victory held in Ipoh, Perak is pulling in tens of

Najib Razak.
Of course, it is only an impersonator and not the self-styled First Lady of Malaysia herself but certainly Rosmah or rather her image is still a crowd-puller although not all who crowded around her impersonator had complimentary comments to make.
By 10pm, more than 100,000 people had filled the lanes of the Medan Istana commercial center. A mixed crowd, where again, young Malaysians outnumbered the middle-aged and senior citizens, and despite having to sit on the roads, their enthusiasm was inspiring to the Pakatan Rakyat leaders who were visibly touched by the response.
Of the 3 rallies held so far, the Ipoh even had been expected to be the quietest due to a hostile state government. As it turned, due to the cramped surroundings, the feeling of rapport and participation was perhaps the greatest and the most lively.
