A dozen Malaysian residents in Bangkok gathered for a silent protest at a new tourist attraction, Asiatique The River Front at Chareonkrung road near Chao Phraya river demanding for clean and fair election and rejecting the results of the 13th general election in Malaysia.
Almost all of the protesters were dressed in black to symbolise the ‘Death of democracy’, referencing to their alleged electoral fraud allegedly executed by the ruling party Barisan Nasional.
Participants also hold a placard with phrases “no racism only Malaysian” to oppose Najib Razak, Malaysian prime minister who said that the election result was a ‘Chinese tsunami’, claiming that the Chinese Malaysians supported the opposition rather than his coalition party.

In France, Malaysians also want fair elections!
Malaysiakini
Some 30 Malaysians, all dressed in black, held a protest at the Trocadero in Paris, France, yesterday against alleged irregularities in the 13th general election concluded on May 5.
They came with banners demanding fresh polls, as well as messages against racism and denouncing the Election Commission (EC).
Bersih France coordinator Dr Selva Pillai called on leaders of other countries to understand why such protests are being held and not to blindly endorse the BN-led federal government.
She blamed the EC for not having acted on calls for a revamp of the electoral system, despite massive rallies and petitions calling for change over the last two years.
“Because of the EC’s blatant arrogance and disregard to amending those irregularities …, we can conclude that the glaring irregularities are a confirmation of the EC’s failure to dispense its duty,” she said.
“We as Malaysians call for the immediate resignation of the EC. Its refusal to allow international electoral bodies and certified organisations to be observers further affirms its poor grasp of democracy.”
elva said she is appalled at the “highly irresponsible” post-polls statement by BN head Najib Abdul Razak in having attacked Chinese Malaysian voters for the ‘swing’ to Pakatan Rakyat.
“Democracy is a right to choose your government freely. The BN has breached that code of conduct. Bersih France also reprimands the (BN) for the use of race-based insults and instigations,” she said.
She lauded the creation of a People’s Tribunal by Bersih, but noted that the “politically tempered judiciary system, just like the EC”is another hurdle Malaysians will have to overcome.
She stressed that Malaysians are not racially divided, as the BN has made it out to be “to divert global attention from its corrupt practices and racial policies since Independence”.
