An application has been submitted to the Registrar of Societies (RoS) by its pro-tem committee, led by Senator P Waythamoorthy, who is also a minister in the Prime Minister’s Department.

In a statement issued today, Waytha said the main objective of the party is to promote Malaysian Indians’ political, economic, educational, cultural, religious and social interests.

“It will work towards continued empowerment of the Indian community, in accordance with the Federal Constitution,” the statement added.

Waytha hoped the birth of this new political party will provide effective representation for Malaysian Indians and allow them to enjoy in the development of the nation.

He hoped Malaysian Indians will move away from being a community depending on state and welfare assistance to become part of a resilient society.

“We will work with all political parties in Pakatan Harapan to enhance the reform agenda under ‘Malaysia Baru’.”
