Malaysia police fire tear gas at protesters
Malaysian riot police have fired tear gas and used water cannon on a crowd of protesters who had converged on the centre of the capital, Kuala Lumpur.
Some 25,000 protesters marched on a central square in the city calling for changes to the electoral system.
They believe the current arrangements will benefit Prime Minister Najib Razak's long-ruling coalition in forthcoming elections.
The rally is one of the largest in the country in the past decade.
