PETALING JAYA: Thousands of protesters poured into Dataran Merdeka to cry foul over price hikes, but in the end they joined the thousands of revellers for the countdown to usher in 2014, minus the customary fireworks.

Although the performances by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall Orchestra and other artistes had to be cut short after some unruly people threw water bottles onto the stage, the New Year’s party went on without any other untoward incident.
