SOME 100 residents of Bandar Tun Razak and representatives from 46 surau and mosques around the constituency came out to show their support for Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim.

The crowd started gathering around 2pm and Bandar Tun Razak division secretary Ishak Hamzah chaired a Press conference where representatives of the surau and mosques read out their Press releases.

In the statement, Surau Al-Firdaus chairman Ghazally Salim said the 46 cows they received for Hari Raya Aidiladha were from the Selangor Development Corporation and not related to the Menteri Besar in any way.

Soon after, the crowd took to the streets and made their voices heard by holding up banners and signs. Despite the heavy police presence, the crowd, that included men and women of all races, chanted “Reformasi” several times before dispersing.

Last Wednesday, it was reported that the Selangor MB was being investigated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission following a report alleging that Khalid had used State funds to pay for the cattle worth RM110,400.
