Attended the Selangor Pakatan Rakyat 100 days celebration last Friday at Shah Alam stadium. The stadium was packed with more than 40,000 supporters and the guest of the night is none other than Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The event was also attended by DAP advisor Sdr Lim Kit Siang and other Pakatan Rakyat leaders.Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid in his opening speech announced many goodies to the Selangor rakyat which included free water supply and 14 days paternity leave to government servants.

The stadium was decorated with two giant sized DAP banners and other banners from PAS and Keadilan. There were also some banners asking the Pakatan Rakyat supporters to boycot the Utusan Malaysia papers.Two huge screen was erected in the stadium to provide better view to the the large crowds.

The crowd waited anxiously for Anwar speech anticipating for some important announcement from him. However there is no surprise speech from him. He praised SAPP leader Yong Teck Lee for his brave stance in fighting for the rights of the Sabahan and invited all Umno members to join forces with Pakatan Rakyat for the benefit of the nation. He questioned the logic of the petrol price hike by BN since Petronas is making an hefty 70 billion profit last year when petrol price was just 70 US per barrel and should be earning double profit due to the current price of US 130 per barrel.The government should not compare our fuel price with other developed countries like US and UK which have higher standard of living, he added.
