"June 22 is very critical. Everyone, from orang kampong (village folk), to fishermen, farmers and most important of all young Malaysians must come. The world, just like Indonesia, is watching. Is there going to be a protest, is it true the people want to clean up the electoral system, is it true they want to plug up all the weaknesses?" Anwar told a rally in Johor.
"If we succeed, then God willing, I am sure June 22 will mark a turning point in Malaysia's cruel political landscape."
The 64-year-old Anwar had been grilled by the Indon press on the June 22 event when he was in Jakarta over the weekend to meet President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who also expressed interest in the Black 505 rally.
