Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, and Malaysia’s missions overseas, will have to get used to scenes like the one last Saturday in London. For over a year, scores of Malaysians have braved the elements to gather in front of the Malaysian High Commission and protest about issues which contravene the constitution.

The solidarity rally organised by the London-based ‘MyOverseasVote’ on Nov 26 had three aims:

- To uphold the rights of Malaysians residing overseas to vote in Malaysia’s general election;

- To ensure that the government will accede to the eight demands of Bersih 2.0 for free, clean and fair elections; and

- To protest against Najib’s Peaceful Assembly Bill which denies ordinary Malaysians their constitutional right to freedom of assembly.
