The police warned that Mr. Ibrahim and dozens of other people who spoke at a protest rally in a packed soccer stadium just outside the capital, Kuala Lumpur, on Wednesday night could be charged with sedition.
Within hours of the election commission’s announcement early Monday that Prime Minister Najib Razak’s governing National Front coalition had won a majority in Parliament, Anwar Ibrahim, the opposition leader, declared that the voting was rigged, said he would contest the results and called for nationwide protests....

Former appeal court judge Datuk Mohd Noor Abdullah’s racist speech puts the Klu Klux Klan to shame and makes Hitler proud.
How long more are we to tolerate such hate mongering and race baiting from the illegitimate Najib government?
While UMNO sows the seeds of hatred and discord, we in Pakatan Rakyat will shower this nation with goodwill and mutual respect, and in doing so foster peace and understanding in our society....

'Giant slayer' is the badge of honour given to a candidate whose victory ended the political career of a hitherto influential incumbent.
In recent times, many Pakatan Rakyat politicians have earned the badge, most notably Nurul Izzah Anwar for defeating Wanita UMNO chief Shahrizat Abdul Jalil in Lembah Pantai in 2008 and Federal Territories minister Raja Nong Chik last weekend.

It is safe to assume that Parti Keadilan Rakyat leaders probably aren't spending their first weekend post GE13 as they had hoped – much less after Mohamed Azmin Ali's latest antics.
