the Pakatan Rakyat (PR)’s big three take to the stage.

Batu Pahat PKR’s service centre and office.
“This
is the last stretch in our effort to galvanise the people to give the corrupt
Umno-led Barisan Nasional (BN) government the boot in the next general
election.
“I
want all PR supporters and workers to work hard to ensure the success of Himpunan Kebangkitkan Rakyat Johor. The
target is to attract a 30,000 crowd,” he told about 40 PKR state leaders.
On
political issues arising daily, Chua advised local PKR members, branch and
division leaders to ignore the controversies raised by BN-Umno.
“BN-Umno’s
aim is to break us, disunite us and distract us from our work. Don’t let them
distract our concentration to win the hearts and minds of the people.
“Ignore
all the distractions manufactured by Umno and BN. Our aim is to win the next
general election for not only PKR but also PR.,” he added.
