Bersih, which literally means clean in Malay, is a movement that started in 2006 to build a mass oppositional force to corrupt government elections.  On November 19 2016, 40,000 Malaysians took to the streets for Bersih 5.0, this time calling for the resignation of corrupt Prime Minister Najib Razak. Police arrested 15 activists and opposition politicians, including Bersih chairperson, Maria Chin Abdullah, who we feature on today's program.
