When asked about MCA drawing large crowds in Tanjung Piai, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said that the media tends to talk about crowd sizes in relative terms.

"I think it is also a question of expectations, so when MCA draws a crowd size that is maybe similar or slightly smaller than us, they put it as that is a massive crowd, but when we draw a similar size crowd, they say that it is a smaller crowd."

"Maybe you want to talk about it in relative terms, but that one is up to the media," he said.

However, he said that it is imperative for Harapan to go to the ground and explain to the people why it is important to support them.
