حزب المتحدة

The Malaysian United Indigenous Party, known by its Malay acronym BERSATU, is a political party in Malaysia that was established on September 8, 2016. It was founded by former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and several other politicians who left…   the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) due to disagreements with the party's leadership, particularly over the handling of the 1MDB scandal. BERSATU positions itself as a centrist and nationalist party, aiming to promote the interests and welfare of the indigenous Malay population, which it considers the core of the Malaysian nation, alongside the interests of other ethnic groups within the country.<br /><br />The party's values are rooted in the belief in a strong, united Malaysia that respects the social contract and the special position of the Malays and the Bumiputera (indigenous peoples) while ensuring fairness and justice for all ethnic groups. BERSATU advocates for good governance, anti-corruption, and economic policies that aim to improve the livelihood of the average Malaysian. It emphasizes the importance of education, healthcare, and economic opportunities as means to achieve national unity and social harmony.<br /><br />Under Mahathir's leadership, BERSATU played a key role in the Pakatan Harapan (Alliance of Hope) coalition, which won the 2018 general elections, leading to the first change of government since Malaysia's independence in 1957. The party's stance on reform and its commitment to addressing racial and economic disparities in Malaysian society were central to its appeal during this period.<br /><br />However, the political landscape in Malaysia is complex and fluid, with alliances and party positions evolving. BERSATU's role and influence within Malaysian politics continue to be shaped by these dynamics, as well as its ability to navigate the challenges of governance, party unity, and the broader aspirations of the Malaysian populace.اقرأ أكثر
