5,000 including CM gather at Esplanade in Penang

At least 5,000 people have gathered at the Esplanade and Aliran president Francis Loh is addressing the crowd.

He is surprised by the number of people who turned out.

Loh said he thought only 200-300 will turn out, and was encouraged by the number of people committed to clean and fair election.

Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and Pakatan leaders are also present. There have been no disturbances so far.

Everyone was asked to sit down, including “hantu” (phantoms), and everyone laughed.
The crowd is now chanting bersih... x 3, cuci... x 3 and bantah... x3.

The crowd is excited and shouting at others to sit down. Every time a group sits on the ground, the rest of the crowd applauds with cheers and claps.
