Malaysiakini’s intrepid reporter has the flash.

Live from KeADILan Congress! pt 3 – Fierce debates on whether Anwar & party should challenge ROS & Government

Gripping, meaningful political discourse.

Bloggers who decided against covering missed out, I reckon. Of course you can follow live at Malaysiakini and Kelantan TV.
