Malaysia to lockdown largest city to block protest

None

Malaysian police say they will shut major roads and suspend public transportation into Kuala Lumpur to block a rally by opposition-backed activists.

 

The organizers of the banned rally planned for Saturday are demanding electoral reforms. The escalating political tension marks a major challenge for Prime Minister Najib Razak's long-ruling coalition ahead of general elections widely expected next year. (AP)
