Thousands of anti-government protesters rallied for a second day in Malaysia’s capital, urging Prime Minister Najib Razak to resign over allegations linked to a troubled state investment fund.
The protesters wore yellow T-shirts emblazoned with the Malaysian word for “clean,” in defiance of a government ban on the clothing. Some carried giant mock checks for 2.6 billion ringgit ($619 million), an amount allegedly paid into Najib’s personal accounts. One wore Middle-Eastern garb, a reference to where a government agency said the money came from.
