In Pictures: Bersih supporters gather in Kuala Lumpur

Bersih supporters gathered on Saturday (Nov 19) at Maybank Square in Bangsar, and the National Mosque which is a short walk away from the iconic Independence Square. They later moved to KLCC. The protests came on the back of revelations that Prime Minister Najib Razak received US$700 million (S$998 million) linked to troubled state investor 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) in his personal bank accounts.
