Bersih 4 around the country
29 Aug 2015 — Tens of thousands joined a peaceful protest in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, bringing to the streets a political scandal of over a multi-billion-ringgit payment made to accounts under his name. Security was tight and several anti-riot trucks and a water cannon were parked near Dataran Merdeka. Protesters spent the night in the streets behind the barricades. Rallies were also held in Sabah and Sarawak, and several major cities around the world.
