Malaysiakini will cover live the nomination day of the Permatang Pauh by-election beginning 7.30am today.
7.25am People start arriving at Maktab Penguruan Tuanku Bainun, the nomination centre. Heavy police presence sighted in and around the centre.
7.37am Police helicopter hovering above. Road blocks, traffic jam. Supporters from both camps, carrying banners and flags, start to swell.
7.45am BN and Pakatan supporters, estimated at 5,000, present. Pakatan crowd outnumber BN's. Some PKR people spotted with Anwar's masks. 'Harapan Baru untuk Malaysia' placards seen all over the Pakatan group.
7.54am Supporters from the two camps enter via different routes. Nomination centre is located just outside the Butterworth-Kulim expressway. Orderly entrance seen at this stage, crowd seem well behaved.
Why in the world is there such a heavy police presence? Even a police helicopter is hovering above? This is only the nomination day! What if the polling day? Will they send in the tanks?

during polling they should not only send tank,they should send also at least four fighter jet and bomber to patrol over permatang pauh.and they should send also at least 10000 ground troop to monitor that place.even that,i am sure those supporter from both side will fight during the polling day.because if they don't fight,then no stories.u should also know la that malaysian only know to fight like that.if send to olympic to fight in game then they will get nothing.
