Malaysia Protesters Demand PM Najib Razak Step Down

Thousands protesters have gathered in Malaysia's capital, Kuala Lumpur, to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Najib Razak. They all wore yellow shirt. They want Mr. Najib to face charges over allegations that billions were looted from his brainchild investment fund, 1MDB. But, Mr. Najib has denied it. He said that Bersih - the electoral reformist group which organized the protest - had become a tool for opposition parties to unseat a democratically elected government.

          Mr. Najib’s accusations were dismissed by Bersih deputy chair Shahrul Aman Shaari and said that they were not there to tear down the government, they were there to strengthen it. This is the second rally organised by Bersih, which means "clean" in the Malay language, to demand Mr Najib's resignation in 15 months, and comes after weeks of rising tension between the "yellow shirts" and pro-government "red shirts".
