A video and news report have been circulating online, claiming that participants of the “Turun Anwar” rally would receive subsidy payments for attending.

However, Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (GERAKAN) Secretary-General Wong Kye Chuen denied the claims in a Facebook post, stating that rally participants will not be receiving any RM200 subsidy.

“I completely reject the content”

Wong also urged the public to verify information before sharing it, and not to blindly follow others or fall prey to manipulation by individuals with hidden agendas.

He added that the timing of the video’s circulation appears to be a deliberate attempt to smear the rally and mislead the public into believing it was driven by money.

“We don’t pay people just to inflate crowd numbers”

Wong pointed out that, like many past rallies initiated by civil society, the Turun Anwar gathering also saw opposition parties mobilising their supporters, provided they shared the same goals and stance.

He went on to strongly condemn individuals attempting to discredit the rally by spreading false information, warning that such actions could cause serious and lasting harm to society.
