According to tv news, at the 1125 rally, the organizer, that is Dong Zong claimed 20,000 people had turned out, and media estimated it at 6,000. A huge gap in the 2 figures. Of course both sides have reasons to inflate, down-play the figures.
Dong Zong needs to exaggerate the turn-out figure to show they have the support of the people, and the media needs to down-play the figure so as not to offend the One Najib.
But looking at the news footage of 1125, I believe the number of people who turned out is far higher than 6000.
I did not see any report about 1125 rally or Anti-Lynas March on the TV3 00:00 26th Nov, 2012 English news, it was just full of the elections talks from One Najib, and the vice-prime-minister/education-minister trashing Dong Zong.
What figure will the Chinese dailies report on Monday?
Green March reached Merdeka Square on 25th Nov, 2012, and the police say the marchers had broken the law. What is that? The only thing marchers did is walk, they walked from Kuantan to Merdeka Square, they did not commit any act of violence, did not damage any property, either public or private, did not vandalize anything, did not shout any kind of insults to any one, be it personal, racial, religious, or nationality. And the police say they had broken the law? Is it because the One Najib is afraid of them? But the Malaysian court had cleared the way for Lynas to start operation, and the raw rare-earth ore had arrived a few days ago in the wee hours. So Malaysia is going to have Lynas after all.
從電視新聞上看到的,在星期日的1125大集會,董總說有20,000人到場,媒體則估計現場有6,000人。兩邊的數字差很大。媒體的數字當然是要照政府的意思報小;董總則要報大以壯聲勢。照電視播出的畫面看,現場人數肯定遠超過6,000人。
在11月26日00:00時的TV3英語中,不見任何1125大集會或步行反萊納斯的報導,只有首相的競選發言和副首相攻擊董總的言論。
星期一華文報章會刋出甚麽數字?
步行反萊納斯在同一天到了獨立廣場,警方說他們犯法。真的這麽怕步行反萊納斯?前幾天淩晨稀土礦已經運到了。看來馬來西亞政府是一定要讓萊納斯在馬來西亞運作了。
