A large group of people gathered at the Stadium Melawati here Tuesday night for the impromptu rally organised by PKR in reaction to the sodomy allegations made against its de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim by former aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan.

The rally was also turned into a platform to criticise the Barisan Nasional government and the current administration's policies.
The crowd started gathering as early as 7.30pm but most of the PKR top leaders gathered at the makeshift platform inside the stadium at about 9pm.
About an hour later Anwar walked in.
In his speech later, Anwar said he would not sit quietly and allow a repeat of what happened in 1998. "We will fight," he said.
"When we (Pakatan Rakyat) take over the country, the first thing we will do is bring down the price of fuel," he claimed.
Meanwhile, Sungai Petani MP Johari Abdul, who moderated the evening’s event, said the "sound of war drums" had begun reverberating from Pakatan Rakyat.
Other speakers who spoke before Anwar included PKR vice-presidents Azmin Ali and R. Sivarasa.

US warns against 'politically-motivated' probe - The Star
KUALA LUMPUR: Jul 1, 2008
Washington has warned Malaysia against any "politically-motivated" investigation or "prosecution" of PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
According to an AFP report, Tom Casey, spokesman for the US State Department, is quoted as saying:
"The main point for us is that the rule of law needs to stand above politics. And we would certainly oppose any use of law enforcement or judicial procedures for anything other than legitimate purposes of the law."
Adding that Anwar had faced similar charges in the past and his conviction was overturned, Casey added, "So, we would hope that there's not a pattern here.
"But, certainly, we would be concerned that anything that is done be done in a way that is appropriate, that is a legitimate investigation of charges that might exist under Malaysian law, and would not be anything that was a politically motivated investigation or prosecution."

Rosmah: I will not take action against Raja Petra - The Star
KUALA LUMPUR: Jul 1, 2008 By LOH FOON FONG
Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor who is the wife of Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will not sue Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Kamaruddin for alleging her involvement in the murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu.
“I have nothing to say. I have given my statement to the police and that’s it,” she said.
Asked if she would sue Raja Petra for defamation, she said she did not want to address unnecessary issues because she had other bigger things to attend to for the people and for the nation.
Asked why she would not address such a serious allegation, she said it did not matter.
“If you are innocent, what is there for you to address? I am not a politician and I am not running for any post. I’m just the wife of a politician,” she said Tuesday during the Asia-Pacific Conference on Children’s Book Publishing.
On whether it was true that bomb expert Col Aziz Buyong’s wife, Norhayati, was her aide, Rosmah said she was not.
“She was not my ADC (aide de camp). She was just an officer who did all my programmes. She is not with me now. She had a promotion and is back with Mindef (the Defence Ministry),” she said.
In his June 18 statutory declaration, Raja Petra alleged to have knowledge that two lieutenant colonels and Rosmah were present when Altantuya’s body was blown up on Oct 19, 2006.
