1110 BERSIH DEMO, The largest political protest in nearly a decade erupted in Malaysia's capital city, Kuala Lumpur.





The rally was the largest political demonstration in Malaysia since supporters of Anwar Ibrahim, then deputy prime minister, protested for several days in September 1998.

That demonstration was in protest at Ibrahim's dismissal from the cabinet and ruling party by Mahathir Mohamad, who was then prime minister.

Anwar later founded the People's Justice Party, one of three opposition parties involved in the latest demonstration.

"It is a good signal that Malaysians want freedom and democracy, and they want free and fair elections," he said.

Anwar has called for further street protests until changes in electoral policy are implemented.

However, Najib Razak, Malaysia's deputy prime minister, said the government would not tolerate illegal assembly. (Please read fully article at http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/72EFBCFD-6A34-4B82-BD57-BB69ADA7C763.htm)
