The “Himpunan Turun Anwar” rally organised by the Perikatan Nasional opposition coalition kicks off in Kuala Lumpur this afternoon.

Thousands of protesters, who are expected to gather at four designated meeting points in the city centre since morning, will march towards the iconic Dataran Merdeka to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

The Malaysiakini team, comprising reporters Hariz Mohd, Qistina Nadia Dzulqarnain, B Nantha Kumar, Tan Fu Qi, Annessa Tan, and Firdaus Hanafiah, reports from the ground.
