We are already in the jungle, Mahfuz tells Noh

PAS vice president Mahfuz Omar has shot back at Selangor Barisan Nasional's deputy chief Noh Omar over the latter's call on those protesting frauds in the polls to move to the jungle.

"The people don't have to move to the jungle because even now they feel like living in the woods under the law of the jungle," said the Pokok Sena member of parliament.

He said the fact that frauds and corruption were tolerated by the authorities showed that Malaysia was practising 'law of the jungle'.

The series of rallies by Pakatan Rakyat dubbed 'Black 505' to highlight electoral frauds in the May 5 polls have so far drawn hundreds of thousands of people. The coalition is currently preparing evidences to show that some 27 parliamentary seats were won by BN in this manner.

The call by Noh, who was dropped from the latest cabinet line-up, followed another statement by Home minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, telling Malaysians who could not accept the results of the polls to migrate.

In the face of the storm, the Election Commission has denied any wrongdoing, saying elections were conducted free and fair.

Meanwhile, Mahfuz further delved into the analogy of life in the forest.

"In the forest, those reigning supreme are the ferocious tigers who do what they please.

"So these rallies are to break free from these ferocious tigers," he said.
