Thousands of people flooded the streets of downtown Kuala Lumpur, forming a sea of  Bersih 4 yellow and demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Najib Razak after public outrage over a RM2.6 billion payment made to a bank account under his name. 

The day went without incident, as protesters slept out on the streets overnight near Dataran Merdeka. Coconuts KL’s Kamal Sellehuddin was out yesterday to capture the scenes.
