GE13 ANALYSIS Since election campaigning began informally in Johor a month ago, photographs have gone viral on the Internet showing thousands of Chinese Malaysians at Pakatan Rakyat ceramahs in major cities in the state.

This may have convinced many supporters that the BN stronghold is ready to be swept up by the ‘political storm’ that Pakatan hopes to create in the 13th general election.

The DAP’s two mega ceramahs in Skudai and Kluang last Saturday night was dubbed 'Super Saturday' - it attracted a crowd of some 20,000, the majority of who were Chinese Malaysians.
