00:00The Turan-Anwar rally, happening today, is being called the largest anti-government protest since Anwar Ibrahim became prime minister in 2022.
00:10Organizers anticipate up to 300,000 attendees, though police expect only 10,000 to 15,000.
00:17Unlike a similar rally in Shah Alam earlier this month, which drew just over 300 people,
00:22today's event will feature prominent figures like Dr. Mahathir Mohamed, Muhyiddin Yassin, former law minister Zaid Ibrahim, and former PKR MP Tian Chua.
00:32Initially planned by PAS Youth in February to oppose the Urban Renewal Act,
00:36the rally's focus shifted in June to demanding Anwar's resignation due to policy decisions.
00:42A PKR Saba leader mocked the rebranding, suggesting PAS Youth change focus because of weak interest in the anti-URA protests.
00:49On Thursday, PN Youth Chief Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamuddin clarified the rally targets Anwar and was not aimed at toppling the Yundi government.
00:59The following day, PKR Tenggara Chief Fakaruddin Muslim said government change must happen via parliament,
01:05adding that decisions are made collectively, not by Anwar alone.
01:09Anwar, recalling his reformasi-era activism, has remained calm with his senior press secretary, Tunku Nashul Abaidah,
01:17saying the PM wants a peaceful rally and has asked police to assist, echoing the Madani principle of celebrating democracy.
