Chaos erupted at the MBKS indoor stadium last night immediately after Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak left the rally venue as people jostled to get hold of goodie bags containing Tupperware brand containers.
As some 2,000 participants at the rally were streaming out of the stadium, hundreds crowded around part of the entrance, grabbing goodie bags that were being distributed.
The bags contained a poster of Najib and either a water tumbler or a small food container of Tupperware fame.
As the rush for goodies grew out of hand, workers were forced to relocate some of the boxes of goodies away from the entrance.
As soon as the boxes touched the floor, dozens of people, many of them elderly and children, ripped opened the boxes and carried with them whatever they could.
In the mad scramble, many people fell. At least one elderly lady was seen rolling on the floor, hanging on to her goodie bag.
The scene left many journalists and policemen gasping in disbelief.
Some who were more patient were content to wait until after the big scrum was over before collecting their share of the goodie bags or boxes of biscuits.
‘Anyone would come for freebies’
One participant told Malaysiakini that he attended the event because he had read about it in the papers.
“There is free food and gifts. Anyone would come,” said the middle-aged man, who declined to be identified.
Asked if he was here to support the premier and BN, the man said he was here to see the PM in the flesh.
An elderly woman said that she was transported by bus with other flat dwellers from Jalan Ban Hock. She said she was unable to get hold of a goodie bag due to the mad rush.
When queried why she would risk injury to obtain one of the goodie bags, a young girl in her mid-teens merely smiled and walked off.
During the event, all participants wore 1Malaysia T-shirts that were given out at the door. Hamburgers and mineral water were also distributed after the event started.
The only election candidate who spoke was Alfred Yap, the BN candidate for Kota Sentosa. He made the introductory speeches before Najib took over.
The premier also called on Pending voters to support BN candidate Dr Sim Kui Hian, but did not specifically mention the rest.
Najib was also seen listening attentively to Sim who spoke before him. Sim often acts as the spokesperson for all five SUPP candidates contesting in the Kuching area.

Give me news with more meat than such frivolous gossip!

NR will b remembered as d PM who openly n crudely mass bribed voters during erections, n who also openly used seks as a weapon against AI b$ n during an erection
Well, S’wakians, grab all d goodies n $$ fr BN, BUT VOTE 4 PR, yeah, OK
That is Tupperware election. A RCI should be set up to establish how much Tupperware company contributed to the election campaign, in return for the advertisement.
Well, take whatever you can because it was bought with your tax money!!
The goods belong to you in the first place!
BUT GIVE THEM THE BOOT JUST THE SAME!!!!
To all Sarawakians:
Take all the tupperwares, sewing machines, bicycles, angpows, green pows, whatever that BN throws in your direction. Then vote Pakatan. After all, all these “gifts” are from your money and from my money.
Take the 1Malaysia t-shirts home, then cut them up, and use them as rags or as door mats. You will find that they are really of lousy quality – made with commissions paid to some BN crony. I have one which I use to wipe my feet.
See, I have told you all to be aware of Milo, cheap biscuits and meehoon, now it is Tupperware and water tumblers. See, it is not just the rural people, it is who we are as Malaysians. Look at the big picture, please. No more time to waste, and no more opportunity to throw away.

There’s nothing quite like objective, accurate reporting, and this is nothing like it.
I just want to read the facts. Now I’m not sure who to believe.
Common sense will judge by the size of the swelling crowd,no matter more or less the quantity it was seen.Finally Sarawakian has grasped the common sense(UBAH) to free themselves from the racist,repressive and corrupted BN.Sarawakian,spread the good words for change and encourage more of your family member,relatives and friends to support PR which by far the better government as proven by Penang,Selangor and kelantan.No native land grabbing,free water(Selangor) compare to no water(certain areas in the supposed rich state,Sarawak) and low poverty rate compare with 40% or more Sarawakian.
Time to Decide Now…..

Suppose a Tupperware costs say RM25
but one acre of your land costs RM50,000 and that has been given to a BN crony.
Surely that is not a clever trade-off?
PM’s do has been marred? You mean it was actually marred? By some ugly behaviour of participants? Amazing. How very amazing. But I thought that was normal. That was precisely what umno represents. What umno stands for. What umno really is. Grab. Grab and Grab. Give me more. Give me more. And Give me some more.
This is really pathetic.
