Bersih 2.0 chairperson Ambiga Sreenevasan is unfazed over the possibility of a head-on collision with a counter-protest led by Perkasa on July 9.
Contacted this afternoon, Ambiga reiterated that the Bersih would go on and be a responsible, peaceful rally fighting for noble ideals of seeking a free and fair elections.
Ibrahim declared today that the NGO is ready to "fight to the end" to stop the rally if the organisers insist on taking to the streets of Kuala Lumpur.
Ambiga said she respected the rights of Perkasa head Ibrahim Ali to air his views.
She also said, "Many people share this feeling. They have strongly voiced the need for this and are supporting us. I have no quarrel with those opposing the rally as it is in line with democratic process of freedom of association. The Bersih rally will go on despite whatever people want to say or the police reports lodged. We will not be intimidated."
