Kuching About 10 minutes' drive away from the SUPP event, some 3,000 are gathered at Taman BDC commercial centre for a DAP ceramah. The main attraction is Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar tells the crowd that he has toured the rural areas throughout Sarawak, from Kapit to Sadong Jaya on his campaign trail and expresses confidence in Pakatan's chances.
"I am confident that this time Sarawak will make history," he thundered.
Anwar has seven speaking engagements this evening.
Cars are parked for a stretch of road at least two kilometres leading up to the field where Anwar Ibrahim is speaking.
Listening are about 3,000 people, with more filing in. Cars are also still driving about in search of parking.
The BDC field is the second last venue in the opposition leader's five-stop ceramah tour tonight.
At the rally in Batu Kawah, Anwar tells the crowd that he is confident Sarawak can make history on April 16.
"I am confident, this time Sarawak can make history. Enough is enough," he says before leading the crowd to chant "Change" a few times.
He urges the voters not to miss the chance for change, and vote for Pakatan this Saturday.
"Now is the time. It's now or never, you have to do it."
He then leads the crowd of 3,000 to chant "Reformasi" before ending his speech to loud applause.
He is now heading to Malay-majority Samariang.
The crowd then applauds DAP senator P Ramasamy when he announces that he is the Penang deputy chief minister.
People are packed like sardines. Many are seen listening to the speeches from on top of their cars or pickup trucks.
Miri- It is raining but around 8,000 people still stay on at DAP's ceramah.
Some have umbrellas while others don't, while some listen from the shelter of the fronts of shophouses.
The crowds' response at DAP's ceramah is noticeably stronger than the PM's meet the people session just 300 metres away.
The star speaker is DAP national chairperson Karpal Singh. Other speakers include national woman chief Chong Eng and Penang exco Phee Boon Poh.
Karpal urges the people to made the right choice on polling day and vote out Sarawak chief minister Taib Mahmud.
"I am also pek moh, but not like Taib Mahmud, he is a bad Pek Moh."
"Let us have a tsunami on Apr 16," said Karpal.
Sibu - At the DAP ceramah near Paramount Hotel, Taiping MP Nga Kor Ming leads a brief prayer for "the wisdom of the people of Sibu to vote the right way".
Many others in the crowd also bow their heads.
He then lightens the mood poking fun at the SUPP rally close by.
"They know that they are on their way out. So they invited Michael Wong to give them a farewell concert," he said.
Dressed in a black Superman T-shirt, Nga says that his "intel" revealed that PKR could win 21 seats.
"If that is so, and DAP wins 15 seats, we can then form the next government!" he said.
Kuching - In Kota Sentosa, someone in the crowd yells "Yes we can!" when Lim Kit Siang tells them that they need 37 seats to change the government in Sarawak.
Later a middle-aged couple shakes their heads when Lim Kit Siang tells them that the helicopter that tipped over in Sibu a few days ago, fatally injuring the pilot, had flown from Bintangor to Sibu.
"I was in Bintangor and people asked me why the DPM should take a helicopter from Bintangor to Sibu when it's only 30 minutes' drive away?" Lim said.
