Ibrahim Ali live interview cancelled

The Perkasa chief says he cannot make it because of recent developments.

PETALING JAYA: FMT RAW’s live interview with Perkasa chief, Ibrahim Ali, has been cancelled at his request due to recent developments over the Bersih rally. The interview was scheduled for 2pm today.

Ibrahim was scheduled to talk about Perkasa’s opposition to the July 9 rally which will now be held in a stadium instead of on the streets.

However, in a text message to FMT at 11am today, Ibrahim apologised and explained that the cancellation was unavoidable due to recent developments.

“Sorry.2day i’m too busy due to latest development… we fix next time… i’ve been called to meet somebody important at 1.30pm. i hope you understand.”

Perkasa will hold an executive committee meeting later today to decide whether it will proceed with its own rally. The right-wing Malay NGO was adamant to face Bersih supporters head-on in an attempt to preserve the nation’s security.

However, Perkasa also said that it would call off its own rally if the Bersih rally was cancelled as well.
