The playground at Taman Subang Perdana Jln 2/10 today was packed by over 4000 people, gathered to listen to the speeches of the alternative front candidates.
Dr.Nasir Hashim, the socialist candidate from PSM hosted the event today. Comrade Nasir patiently explained that the change in leadership from Mahathir to Badawi has not solved the people's problem. "A change in leadership without overthrowing the capitalist system, will lead to continuous exploitation by the ruling class." He further stressed that the PSM had a different manifesto because as socialist, we feel that only through people's power true changes can be made.
The others that joined today's rally were Sdr. Sivarasa the Subang Parliamentary candidate and Elizabeth Wong the candidate for Bukit Lanjan. Anwar's arrival was greeted by the 'Urimi meelam' drums performed by the Makkal Sakti youth.
Anwar called for undivided support from the people of Kota Damansara to vote for Dr. Nasir. He stressed that among the opposition, we should not lobby and campaign for favorite candidates. He added that Dr. Nasir is an activist, has proven himself in many peoples struggles. Thus, he would be the best candidate for the people unlike the Barisan candidates who carry the interest of the capitalist.
Anwar who was supposed to speak for only half an hour, motivated by the huge crowd, spoke for an hour. Many greeted Nasir and wished him success in on the polling day, 8th Mac.
Socialist candidate, candidate for the people!
