Crowd gathers to hear Anwar’s first speech as a free man

PETALING JAYA: The field was muddy and soggy from the heavy afternoon downpour, but that did not deter a large crowd of Malaysians from gathering in Padang Timur to catch a glimpse of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Pakatan Harapan supporters and media practitioners had gathered in Padang Timur in front of Petaling Jaya's Amcorp Mall as early as 5.30pm on Wednesday (May 16), with many donning t-shirts bearing PKR’s trade mark “biru muda” (light blue) colour.
