Tens of thousands rally in Taiwan against president

'WE HAVE THE PRESIDENT.'
'WE HAVE IRONMAN.'

At least 20,000 Taiwanese rallied in Taipei on Saturday to voice their anger at President Ma Ying-jeou over a spate of controversial policies, on the eve of his inauguration for a second term.

Protesters held placards proclaiming 'President Ma, you suck!' and put stickers printed with the word 'anger' on their faces in a demonstration organised by the main opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).

Mr Ma has come under fire over a recent string of policies including the 'double hikes' of fuel and electricity prices, amid a slowing economy and rising inflation.
