They paid us to take part in rally, say protesters
KUALA LUMPUR: A protester at the Bersih 3.0 rally yesterday, Wan Ismail Wan Mad, 34, said he and other Pas members and supporters from the Tumpat division were provided with transportation, accommodation and RM150 pocket money by the party's division.
"We arrived here three days ago. During the July 9 rally last year, my friends and I had to cough out our own money. But this time around, we were provided transportation, hotel accommodation and pocket money."
Another supporter, who identified himself as Azli, 25, said the pocket money, accommodation and transportation spurred him to take part in the rally.
"We arrived here in two buses from Pasir Mas and stayed at a hotel.
"This made it easier for us to converge at Dataran Merdeka," he added.
A couple, in their 50s, from Kedah said opposition members and supporters came in 20 buses from Alor Setar and they paid only RM10 for the bus fare, compared with the normal rate of RM100.
They arrived here on Friday and stayed at a hotel.
Another protester, who identified herself as Azizah, 23, from Permatang Pauh, said she came with two relatives and they were given RM20 each as pocket money by a person known as Mansor. Bernama
