He was accompanied by his wife, Siti Hasmah, at Dataran Merdeka at 7.30pm and were greeted by hundreds of the protesters, and was heard saying, "teruskan, teruskan" (go on, go on)

However, when asked by reporters if he agreed with the demands made by Bersih 4 organisers, Dr M simply smiled and waved to the crowd who acknowledged his presence.

Dr Siti Hasmah also told reporters: "This is people's power." His daughter Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir immediately tweeted: "love ya, dad!!"

His arrival was met with loud roars and rally goers ushering him into the main square of the Dataran. Dr Mahathir, however, made his way out at around 7.40pm in a car, with the crowd cheering and shouting "Bersih" and "Undur Najib".
