PKR's efforts to whip up support for next Saturday's Bersih rally today was dogged by Sungai Besar Umno chief Jamal Md Yunos and his red-shirt posse.
The Bersih-themed programme led by Ampang MP Zuraida Kamaruddin, who is also PKR women's wing head, began early in the morning, with her convoy visiting several residential areas.
At two stops - Tasek Permai and the Tasek Tambahan PKNS flats - Zuraida was seen giving out goodies, including bags of rice, to residents while encouraging them to join the Nov 19 rally.
However, the situation became tense at Tasek Tambahan when Jamal and his red-shirts arrived.
The two groups were separated by the police and a verbal sparring match ensued.
Jamal demanded to see Zuraida, accusing her of having paid about 40 over "volunteers" to be on her entourage.
Zuraida, however, ignored them, proceeding to hand out goodies before leaving Tasek Tambahan for Dewan Orang Ramai Sri Tanjung.
Jamal and the red-shirts followed them there, but was blocked from entering by riot police.
However, he refused to give up. He approached the hall through an adjoining pre-school. Although separated by a wall, Jamal began taunting the yellow-clad PKR group.
"There are many pretty boys among them," he noted, before leading the red-shirts to chant "LGBT".
The PKR crowd retaliated with selawat (Muslim hymns), to which Jamal retorted that he prayed they would return to the right path.
Among other insults, Jamal and his men accused Zuraida's followers of not being heterosexuals.
