Parts of the Malaysian capital came to a standstill on Saturday as protesters - reportedly around 200,000 - gathered for an overnight rally to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Najib Razak over an alleged multi-million-dollar transfer of state funds to his personal account.

Small rallies were also held in Kuching and Kota Kinabalu, as well as overseas in cities including Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, Shanghai and Hong Kong, according to the organiser Bersih, an electoral reform group.

In Kuala Lumpur, crowds headed to the five meeting points - Sogo shopping mall, National Mosque, Dataran Maybank, Brickfields and Central Market hours before the start of the rally at 2pm. All five groups then marched towards the historic Dataran Merdeka, the venue of Independence Day celebrations on Aug 31.
