Former MIC deputy youth chief V Mugilan has called today's Gerakan Anti Samy (GAS) rally at the Mines Convention Centre in Serdang a success, despite the use of "gangster tactics" to derail the event.<br /><br />Only 3,500 people turned up for the rally when Mugilan had expected 15,000.<br /><br />Mugilan pinned the blame on the disappointing crowd-size on money being slashed to stop people from joining to the rally.<br /><br />"RM5 million has been spent to stop people from coming to the rally," claimed Mugilan.<br /><br />"Buses from Penang and Pahang have been stopped. RM5,000 was paid for every bus not to come today."<br /><br />Neverthelss, Mugilan said GAS had succeeded in reaching out to the rakyat to convey its message loudly and clearly.
