Protesters occupy a street during a rally in downtown Kuala Lumpur on Saturday. Police barricaded key roads in downtown Kuala Lumpur and put water-cannon trucks on standby, but it did not stop protesters. Some were chanting "Save Democracy" and "Bersih, Bersih'' -- the name of the electoral reform group that organised the rally. Mr Najib, who has denied any wrongdoing, has said he won't be cowed by the rallies. Those detained include ruling party politician Jamal Mohamad Yunos, whose supporters trooped to downtown Kuala Lumpur to counter the Bersih rally.
