Reform storm gathers in Malaysia

Reform storm gathers in Malaysia: Kuala Lumpur is braced this weekend for a repeat of electoral reform protests last July when security forces injured scores of people and arrested more than 1,000. The important Dataran Merdeka, or Independence Square, is closed to the Bersih protest coalition, and a low turnout could spur the government into holding a snap election. - Simon Roughneen (Apr 27, '12)
