The May 13 Incident is a term for the Sino-Malay sectarian violences in Kuala Lumpur (then part of the state of Selangor), Malaysia, which began on May 13, 1969. The riots led to a declaration of a state of national emergency and suspension of Parliament by the Malaysian government, while the National Operations Council (NOC or Majlis Gerakan Negara, MAGERAN) was established to temporarily govern the country between 1969 and 1971.
Officially, 196 people were killed between May 13 and July 31 as a result of the riots, although journalists and other observers have stated much higher figures. Other reports at the time suggest over 2,000[citation needed] were killed by rioters, police and Malaysian Army rangers, mainly in Kuala Lumpur. Many of the dead were quickly buried in unmarked graves in the Kuala Lumpur General Hospital grounds by soldiers of Malaysian Engineers.
The government cited the riots as the main cause of its more aggressive affirmative action policies, such as the New Economic Policy (NEP), after 1969.

2. VK Limgam Video
The allegation was first made public in September 2007 by former Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia Anwar Ibrahim who released a low quality video showing lawyer V.K. Lingam allegedly talking to former Chief Judge of Malaya Ahmad Fairuz Abdul Halim about the appointment of the latter into the office of Chief Justice of the Federal Court. Ahmad Fairuz retired as the Chief Justice of the Federal Court in late 2007 after his tender was not renewed due to objection from the Conference of Rulers.
3. Bersih Rally
PUTRAJAYA, MALAYSIA: The Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih) may have another street demonstration if government extends the tenure of Election Commission (EC) chairperson Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman.
Bersih spokesperson and PAS central committee Zulkifli Ahmad led Bersih representatives to Prime Minister Department Tuesday (18 Dec) afternoon and they have submitted a protest against the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2007 that seeks to extend the retirement age of members of Election Commission (EC) from 65 to 66.
On 20 Nov, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Nazri Aziz tabled for first reading the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2007 that seeks to extend the retirement age of members of Election Commission (EC) from 65 to 66. Parliament passed legislation on 11 Dec to increase EC members' retirement age from 65 to 66. Rashid's contract ends this month.
Zulkifli Ahmad said Bersih was not giving warning to government, but to "remind" the government.
He added there were many kinds of protests, demonstration was one of it.
Parti Keadilan Rakyat vice presedent Sivarasa Rasiah said the protest which was submitted to Prime Minister has clearly stated that :"Bersih wants to remind Prime Minister, if the tenure of Election Commission chairperson is extended, we would not guarantee that people would not demonstrate."
He said this was a serious issue, if Prime Minister ignored it, undoubtedly it would "invite" people to take action. Commenting on what kinds of action, He said "let us wait and see".
Sivarasa said Bersih held a peace demonstration, but police unleashed tear gas and water cannons without giving any warning. (AP)
