Bersih rally coming soon?
From the Malay Mail:
The latest Anti GST rally called by Bersih only rallied around 10,000 Malaysians. It can be considered a failure as Bersih 2.0 brought in 100,000 people on the streets.KUALA LUMPUR, July 6 — Bersih 2.0 will take to the streets and organise its fourth mass rally if Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak does not adequately address the allegations of embezzlement against him in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), group chairman Maria Chin Abdullah said today.The activist added that Najib must also immediately take a leave of absence from all his government positions to allow investigators to trace the trail of billions of ringgit allegedly wired from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) into the prime minister’s personal bank accounts.“Najib must reveal to the public the details of his bank accounts and explain whether the AmBank accounts under his name exist. If they do, then show the transaction details of that day,” news portal the Malaysian Insider quoted Maria as saying today.- See more at: http://www.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/article/bersih-4.0-rally-if-no-answers-on-pms-alleged-embezzlement-polls-watchdog-w#sthash.0fwuhgc9.dpuf
It's roughly ten days to go until the next Bersih rally will be likely called. With nothing of significance really being done regarding answering the 1MDB allegations, time is running out for the government. GST is a whole different animal compared to the 1MDB allegations. I expect that the turnout will be significantly larger.
Bersih is so far the only major event so far that the government is extremely scared of and will likely heed notice.
