Members of Malaysia's Indian community have
protested on the streets of Kuala Lumpur, the
capital.
They are demanding equal rights in a country
they believe discriminates against them.
They are also said to place blame on the
colonial policies of Britain, and were
intending to deliver a petition to the
British High Commission in Malaysia.

Malaysia's Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi
appears to have been returned to power in
general elections, but there have been major
swings against his ruling coalition.
Significantly they have come from the
minority ethnic Chinese and Indian vote. The
Indians had staged rare protests in Malaysia
over what they say was discrimination.
The result will severely dent the ruling
coalition's majority in Parliament, and could
change forever the dynamics of Malaysian
politics. Tags :AlJazeeraaljazeeraMalaysiageneralelectionresultsBNsetback
