From the pool: Pool was ushered into the residence, down a gilded spiral staircase, through a veranda and finally into the room where the bilat is taking place. President Obama and Prime Minister Najib were seated on opposite sides of a long boardroom table, both flanked by a retinue of aides. Sitting on the U.S. side were Nat'l Security Adviser Susan Rice and US Trade Rep Michael Froman (among others). As the pool was being ushered out, a camera hit a crystal sconce making an audible crash. Hearing that, the president remarked, "I hope that's not our press breaking things. It's ok if it's Malaysian press. US press -- I don't want to have to pay for it." The sconce was unharmed. **footage note: we were given a very bad position in this tight space.

Wide shot of Najib shaking hands with disabled voters STORYLINE Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak and opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim voted on Sunday in tight national elections that could see Najib's long-ruling National Front coalition ousted after nearly 56 years in power. Najib voted in his hometown Pekan, Pahang state, 240 kilometres (149 miles) east of the capital Kuala Lumpur, and Anwar in his hometown Permatang Pauh, Penang state, northern Malaysia. The three-party alliance of Anwar, a former Deputy Prime Minister, hopes widespread grievances over how the National Front has struggled with accusations of arrogance, abuse of public funds and racial discrimination will translate into a surge of votes to propel the opposition into power. "We are of course hoping that we obtain a mandate to change the system of governance, values, and we have been crafting specific programmes, explaining what we mean by the reform: economic, social, institutional," Anwar told reporters in Permatang Pauh. But Najib Razak has voiced confidence that the National Front coalition will remain Malaysia's dominant political force despite facing its most unified opposition challenge since independence from Britain in 1957. The opposition is worried about electoral fraud, saying the National Front hopes to use foreign migrants from Bangladesh, the Philippines and Indonesia to vote unlawfully. Answering a question by media about suspicions of electoral fraud, Anwar condemned the alleged irregularities. "We have in fact jointly condemned this, which is not only fraudulent but virtually attempting to steal the elections, which is unconstitutional, (and shows) disregard for the law," Anwar said. Government and electoral authorities have rejected the allegations. Speaking from Pekan, Najib said he was "happy about the whole ongoing process and the credibility" of the election. Tens of thousands of Malaysia's 13.3 (m) million registered voters lined up at schools and other voting centres on Sunday to cast their ballots at the beginning of a 10-hour voting period. The National Front held 135 seats in the 222-member Parliament that was dissolved last month. It is anxious to secure a stronger five-year mandate and regain a long-time two-thirds legislative majority that it lost in 2008. Najib says only the National Front can maintain stability in Malaysia, which has long been one of Southeast Asia's most peaceful and relatively wealthier countries. Many political observers believe the race will be tight, with the National Front potentially edging out Anwar's alliance partly because of its entrenched support in predominantly rural districts. The opposition is likely to retain control of at least two of Malaysia's 13 state legislatures and should perform well in urban constituencies where a growing bank of middle-class voters have clamoured for political change. If the opposition wins, it would mark a remarkable comeback for Anwar, a former deputy prime minister who was fired in 1998 and subsequently jailed on corruption and sodomy charges that he says were fabricated by his political enemies. He was released from jail in 2004 and now leads the biggest threat to the National Front. The National Front's aura of invincibility has been under threat since three of Malaysia's main opposition parties combined forces five years ago. Najib, who took office in 2009, embarked on a major campaign to restore his coalition's luster. In recent months, authorities have provided cash handouts to low-income families and used government-linked newspapers and TV stations to criticise the opposition's capability to rule.
