Forum Bersih 2.0: Manifesto BN vs PKR

I just finished covering a event at Shangri-la, Jalan Sultan Ismail when I remembered that there was going to be a debate between Najib and Anwar tonight. Here were the details listed on facebook:

Debat Anwar - Najib

17 April 2013 (Rabu)

8.00-10.00 malam

Forum Bersih 2.0 Manifesto BN vs PKR

Datuk Seri Najib Razak vs Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim

Kuala Lumpur Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall

Although I arrived late, I wasn't surprised of the outcome, as summarized in the picture below:

There were camcorders and video cameras everywhere around the main stage from the media and amateurs alike.

Hundreds of PKR and Bersih supporters were packed inside the hall.

 Although there was no air cond, they persisted to hear what Anwar had to say about Pakatan's Manifesto.

 L-R: A Samad Said, Rafizi, Ambiga, Marina Chin

Despite being a serious forum, Anwar manages to win over the crowd with his wit.

 After the forum, Anwar promptly left to rush to another ceramah in Putrajaya.

Rafizi took over from Anwar to explain parts of the Pakatan Manifesto, such as the economy, education, corruption, and reducing the rising living costs of the rakyat.

 Closing speech by Ambiga.

 She presents a copy of Bersih's new book to Rafizi.

 Rafizi greets his supporters.

 Ambiga signs a copy of Bersih's latest book 'Bersih: The voices of rhyme and reason'.
