Electoral watchdog Bersih has managed to collect more than RM1 million from donations and the sale of T-shirts.

The movement's chairperson Maria Chin Abdullah however joked that the donation has yet to hit the RM2.6 billion mark.

"(We collected) about RM200,000 for Bersih 2, RM400,000 to RM450,000 for Bersih 3.

"Now we have reached RM1.4 million (for Bersih 4). But it hasn't reached RM 2.6 billion," she told Malaysiakini .

This was in reference to the RM2.6 billion political donation deposited into Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's personal accounts ahead of the last general election.

Bersih had kicked off its fundraising campaign two weeks ago, and had collected up to RM120,000 until last Friday.

Earlier, Bersih's Mandeep Singh posted on Facebook that the total amount received until 12.26am was RM1,221,419.02.

"We would like to extend a million thanks to all those who donated. To those who haven't, please keep donating," he wrote.

Come Aug 29-30, the watchdog would hold an overnight rally, which among others, is to urge the resignation of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
