Bersih chairperson Ambiga says it is the people's rally.
(Free Malaysia Today) - Coalition for Free And Fair Elections (Bersih) chairperson, S Ambiga today said the polls watchdog would not back down from its mass rally planned for July 9.
“It is not for Anwar to decide to call it off,” said Ambiga who leads the coalition of about 62 NGOs and political parties.
She was commenting on Opposition Leader and PKR advisor Anwar Ibrahim’s remarks earlier today that he would call off the Bersih rally if the Election Commission guaranteed free and fair election.
Anwar’s remarks were said at the Selangor PKR convention earlier today.
Meanwhile when asked on Malay rightwing group Perkasa’s action of villifying her and burning banners of her picture, Ambiga said: “I believe police will take appropriate action. I will not respond to any statements against me.
“The rally is not me It is about the people,” said Ambiga, who was a former Bar Council president. She was talking to reporters at the launch of the Bersih rally tonight.

No political leader should give the wrong signals that BERSIH operates under one's influence ! Political party members from all factions are welcome to join in the march on July 9 together with members from all walks of society . Political leaders must not make statements in the open medias that they can command BERSIH to do their bidding ! Already PERKOSA , UMNO and their ilks are out for BERSIH blood doing their utmost best to cause the BERSIH march to be immaturely aborted ! DO NOT OUTGUN ONE'S WISDOM WITH ONE'S GAP !

There's still time to prepare the public and participants on how to ensure the rally will be as smooth as possible.
