As the police lock down Kuala Lumpur, Malaysians worldwide are starting their respective rallies in support of Bersih 2.0's call for free and fair elections with up to 30 cities reportedly involved.

In Melbourne, Australia, the crowd at Federation Square has reached 750, reported the latest tweet from the Bersih Oz Twitter page.

The gathering started around 9am local time with around 30 people bearing placards in support of free and fair elections and singing 'Negara Ku'.



By noon the rally was full swing, with Ambiga masks being distributed for the participants to wear.

“Ambiga masks now being distributed, we are all Ambiga!” reads one tweet.

It is reported that the rally has drawn Australian TV coverage.

Speakers who have addressed the crowd so far include the member of parliament for Clayton and Sonia Randhawa from the Centre of Independent Journalists (CIJ).

Meanwhile in neighbouring New Zealand, a mini rally reportedly kicked off in Christchurch, New Zealand, at the University of Canterbury at around 10.30am local time.
