KUALA LUMPUR -- Tens of thousands of yellow-clad Malaysian protestors marched through Kuala Lumpur on Saturday to demand the resignation of scandal-mired Prime Minister Najib Razak.

     Joining the demonstrators at Malaysia's national mosque, Lim Kit Siang of the opposition Democratic Action Party (DAP) told the Nikkei Asian Review that "we want to save Malaysia from political and economic crisis, where the country will end up as a failed state with no rule of law."
