REPORTS FROM GROUND ZERO
by Evelyn & Kath, PUSAT KOMAS


Editor's note: PUSAT KOMAS, Malaysian human rights organisation has also fielded our very own "Anak Sarawak" Evelyne Tawan and Kath Livan to the field to monitor the activities and to document the incidence of abuse irregularities and generally to report the stories from ground zero!

Together with MEO-NET (Malaysian Election Observers Network), they will be delivering daily accounts of their findings from Miri, Bintulu and other parts of Sarawak into this blog.

Good Morning Niah!

The crowd at Ngu awaiting for DSAI, around 100 people waiting despite the rain. Spotted among the crowd was Nor Ak Nyawai, pejuang hak tanah NCR. All the way from Miri to Niah, i could only spot BN's flags at longhouses by the roadside. Only towards reaching Niah that I spotted 1 PKR's flag.

The foodcourt at Niah pit stop - Ngu side is full with PKR's flag. Supporters for BN are at the other side of the foodcourt. MP Kapar giving his speech as a start off, good response from the crowd, increasing to around 500 people, seems like very strong support from the locals.

Speech by Tuai Rumah Nor Anak Nyawai in Iban. He talks about his court case.
