Bersih 4 rally
The Bersih 4 rally was a series of planned rallies carried out on 29 to 30 August 2015 in major cities in Malaysia, namely Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bersih calls for August rallies in 3 states to demand PM Najib's resignation )〕 There were subsequent rallies in over 70 cities around the world in support of the main rallies in Malaysia. The rallies were organised by The Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Malay: Gabungan Pilihanraya Bersih dan Adil) or Bersih (meaning clean in Malay) a coalition of non-government organisations which seeks to reform the current electoral system in Malaysia to ensure free, clean and fair elections. The rallies were being carried out with the objective to calling for clean and transparent governance in Malaysia as well as strengthening the parliamentary democracy system. The rallies are a followup to similar rallies that were carried out in 2007, 2011 and 2012. 30 August is the day before National Day which is on 31 August.
== Background ==
In the aftermath of the general elections in Malaysia in 2013 there were accusations by the opposition and non-governmental organisations that the government had cheated its way to another election victory. A series of rallies in 2013 were carried out protesting the results of the elections, whereby the opposition garnered a plurality of the votes but still lost the election due to the government gaining the most seats in the Westminster system of elections.
In 2015, a corruption scandal began to engulf Malaysia, involving a government super fund called 1Malaysia Development Berhad which was chaired by Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak. There were a series of exposes by online investigative blogs, namely Sarawak Report and major news portal Wall Street Journal that money was being siphoned off from the fund into personal accounts of Najib and his close relations. A Public Accounts Committee compromising government and opposition members of parliament was set up to investigate if there were major wrongdoings on the part of Najib and 1MDB. However, in July, the government began to stifle news reports regarding the 1MDB scandal by blocking the website Sarawak Report, which had in been in forefront of exposes revealing the losses incurred by 1MDB and its connection to Najib, from the Malaysian internet community.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sarawak Report whistleblowing website blocked by Malaysia after PM allegations )〕 The government then began to withdraw the publishing license of The Edge, a financial and news publication which was reporting the 1MDB scandal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Malaysia's home ministry suspends top publications over 1MDB reports )〕 Furthermore, on the 28th of July, Najib began removing detractors in his cabinet and government such as Abdul Gani Patail, the Attorney General of Malaysia who was part of the task force investigating the 1MDB scandal,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gani’s removal in midst of 1MDB probe fans Najib conspiracy theories, say critics )〕 his deputy Muhyiddin Yassin and four other ministers who were said to be critical of 1MDB and called for Najib to explain the issue to the Malaysian public.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Malaysian PM Najib Razak sacks deputy after 1MDB graft scandal remarks )〕 The Public Accounts Committee investigating the 1MDB scandal was also suspended indefinitely with the promotion of four of its members to Deputy Ministers by Najib.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1MDB probe temporarily frozen as PAC chief, members made deputy ministers )〕
Currently there is a court case challenging the re-delineation of electoral boundaries in Sarawak, which if carried out would affect the next state elections in Sarawak.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Court of Appeal allows EC’s redelineation appeal )〕 The re-delineation of the seats in Sarawak would see an increase of 71 to 82 seats in the state assembly, but the current contention is there was no proper explanation given for the planned increase. Bersih has stated that the case, which has been successfully appealed by the Election Commission, would allow it to carry out acts of gerrymandering and malapportionment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bersih: Court ruling on Sarawak redelineation setback to democracy )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Court decision on Sarawak redelineation makes GE14 results a foregone conclusion, says Bersih )〕
