Bersih 2.0 9th July 2011
Thousands of protesters have descended on Malaysia's capital - despite the closing of key roads - to attend a banned rally demanding electoral reforms(Bersih 2.0). Police fired rounds of tear gas and used water cannons to disperse the crowds. Police in the capital said more than 1,400 people were arrested Saturday. Most were expected to be released within a few hours.
The government had declared the rally illegal. Police sealed off key roads, deployed water cannons and then opened fire with tear gas as crowds formed and attempted to march towards the iconic Merdeka Stadium, where independence was declared more than half a century ago. Stampedes followed, and the crowds dispersed into smaller groups and taunted riot police armed with batons, guns and shields.

Demo anti israel..
Ribuan orang menyertai demontrasi Pakatan Rakyat di ibu negara selepas solat Jumaat minggu lepas bagi membantah serangan berdarah tentera Israel terhadap flotila bantuan kemanusiaan pro-Palestin Isnin lalu.
Kumpulan itu membanjiri Masjid Kampung Baru untuk menunaikan solat Jumaat sebelum berarak beramai-ramai ke kedutaan Amerika Syarikat di Jalan Ampang, sejauh hampir 5 kilometer.
Dipimpin Ketua Pembangkang Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, mereka bergerak lancar apabila tidak dihalang polis, seperti kebiasaan dalam demontrasi besar Pakatan Rakyat sebelum ini.
Memorandum bantahan mereka berjaya disampaikan kepada wakil kedutaan Amerika Syarikat kira-kira jam 3.30 petang tadi tanpa sebarang insiden yan tidak diingini.
Selain itu, satu lagi kumpulan NGO melibatkan jumlah yang lebih kecil turut berarak daripada Masjid Tabung Haji dan berarah menyerahkan memorandum bantahan kepada kedutaan tersebut. (malaysiakini.com)

Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim
Dato' Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim (born 10 August 1947) is a Malaysian politician who served as Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister from 1993 to 1998. Early in his career, he became a protégé of the Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad, but subsequently emerged as the most prominent critic of Mahathir's administration.
In 1999, he was sentenced to six years in prison for corruption, and in 2000, to another nine years for sodomy. In 2004, the Federal Court reversed the second conviction and he was released. In July 2008, he was arrested over allegations he sodomised a male aide, and faces new sodomy charges in the Malaysian courts.
On 26 August 2008, Anwar won the Permatang Pauh by-election with a majority of 15,671, returning to Parliament as leader of the Malaysian opposition. He has stated the need for liberalisation, including an independent judiciary and free media, to combat the endemic corruption that he considers pushes Malaysia close to failed state status.
