Evening update in Perak

21:00
The situation in the streets of Ipoh seems normal. Life carries on as usual. It is not tense out there and it's perfectly safe to venture out. It's just that many people are upset and angry but they are finding solidarity in knowing that others are feeling the same way too.

Thanks Anil. I like the first photo that Amirudin has uploaded. One Malay guy with skull cap (kopiah) wearing DAP Action Team vest:) Yes, we can live in harmony under PR.

The anger among the people appears to have cut across ethnic lines.

Now, what makes it interesting is that Nizar, a Malay-Muslim, was the Sultan's choice.

Ironically, it is Nizar's leadership that has prevented this whole issue from being turned into a racial issue by unscrupulous quarters. It could have been so different if someone from the DAP had been MB, in which case this crisis could so easily have been manipulated into a racial issue.

Nizar is a credit to PAS. He has shown himself to be mild and humble and non-racialistic. Come to think of it, except for some excessive religious zeal, so far PAS is not tainted by corruption.

Okay, we are now off to check out the MB's residence. Don't forget to check out Amiruddin's picture here. He has uploaded more now.
