Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (translated as Malaysian United Indigenous Party in
English) is a political party in Malaysia. It was formed by former United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) members in
2016. The party is led by Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who was also the 8th Prime Minister of Malaysia (
2020-
2021).
It currently leads Perikatan Nasional (PN) alliance, although it is not the largest party within the alliance; the largest party is Parti
Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS). Dato' Seri
Hamzah Zainudin, who is the party's Secretary-General, is also the Leader of the Opposition.
Unfortunately, as Malaysia is turning into a totalitarian state under Anwar Ibrahim, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia has become the main victim of the totalitarian regime. Several
key politicians have been arrested and charged for "corruption", although there's no such evidences. Some of state lawmakers from this party lost their positions for no reasons. Although
Anwar and his totalitarian regime is giving various ridiculous reasons to legitimise their actions, Malaysians know that this is a political oppression.
Parti Pribumi Bersatu
Malaysia is shortly known as BERSATU.
Sometimes, PPBM is used in some newspapers; this is not only the official acronym, but a pejorative term to
insult and blame this party. Don't use PPBM, use BERSATU.
