The logo, in black and yellow, is a departure from the previous black and white palette, and features the word MUDA with a striped ‘D’.

Muda acting president Amira Aisya Abd Aziz said yellow symbolises the party’s struggles for a fairer society.

She said the ‘D’ – for democracy – highlights the party’s foundational principle in pursuing a democratic society. Muda is short for Malaysian United Democratic Alliance.

The three stripes forming the letter ‘D’ represent freedom, justice and solidarity.

“Since the start of Muda in 2021, we have held on to principles and policies of social democracy.

“For example, we are fighting for race-based policies to be replaced with needs-based policies in the education sector, even though it’s deemed controversial.

“And, after three years, we find that there’s a need to tell people again that our ideologies are based on the principles of social democracy, and that we will hold on to them,” Amira told reporters after launching the logo today.

She said the rebranding follows steps taken to rejuvenate the party since last year, such as implementing an open tender process for the party members’ portal.

Amira, who is also the Puteri Wangsa assemblyman, said Muda will hold its internal elections “in the near future” and will issue announcements on the matter next month.

She also said she is seeking re-election to the central executive committee.

On a separate matter, Amira said the party is undecided about contesting in the next Sabah state election, which must be held by October 2025.

She said the party’s central leadership is discussing the election with its Sabah chapter.
