Tens of thousands rallied in Kuala Lumpur demanding Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s resignation over rising living costs and tax policies. Protesters, clad in black “Step Down Anwar” shirts, marched to Independence Square as police estimated over 18,000 attendees. Former PM Mahathir, 100, joined the protests, accusing Anwar of misuse of power and judicial interference. Public anger has surged after subsidy cuts, expanded taxes, and dropped graft charges against Anwar’s allies. Despite cash handouts and fuel price pledges, demonstrators vow to continue until Anwar steps down. <br /> <br />#MalaysiaProtests #AnwarIbrahim #MahathirMohamad #StepDownAnwar #KualaLumpur #IndependenceSquare #PoliticalCrisis #MalaysiaNews #PublicOutrage #TaxProtests #LivingCosts #FuelPrices #SalesTax #SubsidyCuts #JudicialInterference #MalaysianPolitics #MahathirJoinsProtests #PMResignation #ProtestMarch #BreakingNews #MalaysiaCrisis #AnwarVsMahathir #ProtestWave #PeoplePower #MalaysiaRising #AnwarUnderFire #PoliticalUnrest #AsiaNews #ProtestMovement #Malaysia2025<br /><br />Also Read<br /><br />Ex-Malaysian leader Mahathir tests COVID positive, hospitalised :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ex-malaysian-leader-mahathir-tests-covid-positive-hospitalised-3455411.html?ref=DMDesc<br /><br />Mahathir Mohammad says remarks on French attack taken out of context :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mahathir-mohammad-says-remarks-on-french-attack-taken-out-of-context-3170572.html?ref=DMDesc<br /><br />Former Malaysian PM Mahathir says he won't apologise for 'contentious' Kashmir remarks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/former-malaysian-pm-mahathir-says-he-won-t-apologise-for-contentious-kashmir-remarks-3132057.html?ref=DMDesc<br /><br /><br /><br />~HT.410~ED.102~
