KUALA LUMPUR: A blog post at MynewsHub in its update on Bersih 3.0 stated opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had instigated the rally participants to cause unrest in Dataran Merdeka.

In his speech, Anwar allegedly said: “We must free Dataran Merdeka.”

The blog post questioned Anwar’s motive: “When will Anwar stop using the people for his own good?”

The post also stated Anwar and the rally participants are expected to make their move to Dataran Merdeka after Zuhur prayer.

His speech was in contrast with Bersih leader Datuk Ambiga Sreevanasan’s assurance during the rally at the Central Market that the demonstrators will not enter the Dataran Merdeka.

During an interview with the media Ambiga said the group will not be in Dataran Merdeka and will sit wherever they are to show their support in the rally.

Her interview was published at Melanau Blogger.

Earlier, the police recorded a video of the Himpunan Hijau demonstrators’ action in crashing the police barricades at KLCC. The group is set to meet with Bersih supporters in the city.
