An estimated 400 Malaysians gathered in Hong Kong yesterday as part of the Bersih 3.0 rally to voice their demands for electoral reform. The peaceful protest received the full cooperation of the Hong Kong Police Force, who had to deploy additional officers to manage the crowd that was four times larger than the officially permitted size.

The crowd gathered outside Sogo Shopping Mall in Causeway Bay at 2pm, singing patriotic songs like 'Negaraku' and 'Sejahtera Malaysia'. Protesters came from as far as Guangdong Province in mainland China, although the bulk consisted of Hong Kong-based Malaysians. Some tourists from Malaysia even timed their visit to Hong Kong to spend 428 here. They had all heard about the event throughFacebook and spread the word.
