"Today, the people of Malaysia created history and we want clean elections and a clean government.

"We hope all these will help save our economy. Today, we reiterate our demands. We not only want the prime minister to step down but we want a reformation of the institutions.

"We hope the government and the prime minister (will) listen to the voice of the people. Independence is meaningless when we have leader who says wearing Bersih T-shirts is illegal," she said in her closing address.

Maria said there were two key messages. "I hope every Malaysian will ask their members of parliament to have a motion for a vote of no-confidence against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

"The second is we want you to discuss with your MPs after Najib steps down, the reformation of the corrupt institutions. I hope when we hold Bersih 5 it will be a celebration."
