TheNational Trust Party (Malay:Parti Amanah Negara;abbrev:AMANAH) is a political party in Malaysia advocating areformist strand ofpolitical Islam.[3] The party was founded as theMalaysia Workers' Party (Malay:Parti Pekerja-Pekerja Malaysia;abbrev:PPPM) before being taken over in August 2015 toGerakan Harapan Baru, a group of moderate-to-progressive Islamist leaders from thePan-Malaysian Islamic Party that had lost aparty election. The party was rebranded on 16 September 2015. The party currently has eight electedMembers of Parliament. It is one of the three component parties of the incumbentPakatan Harapan coalition inMalaysia.
TheMalaysian Workers' Party (Malay:Parti Pekerja-Pekerja Malaysia) was founded in January 1978 byGanga Nayar, the first female to head a political party in Malaysia. Nayar was its lone candidate for the1978 general election in theSungei Besi parliamentary constituency and theSungei Way state constituency. She performed poorly and lost her deposits in both contests. Since then, the Workers' Party contested very few Malaysian elections.
The symbol or logo of the Workers' Party was thehoe andgear with the dark green background.
The Workers' Party was dormant until it was taken over byGerakan Harapan Baru on 31 August 2015.[4]
In 2015 GHB took over the Workers Party after its attempt to form a new party calledParti Progresif Islam was rejected by the Home Ministry.[5][6][7][8][9] Gerakan Harapan Baru was given permission to take over the party, with the only condition given by the existing party members that the party would not co-operate with theBarisan Nasional coalition andUMNO.
GHB chiefMohamad Sabu said they would then change the Workers' Party's name to theNational Trust Party. Once the Registrar of Societies approved the new name, it was expected that the Amanah party would be launched on 16 September in conjunction withMalaysia Day, with at least 35,000 members.[10]
Malaysian Workers' Party members approved the change of its name to Parti Amanah Negara in an extraordinary general meeting on 8 September 2015, resulting in the change of its logo and flag.
AMANAH was officially launched on 16 September 2015 at the national level, while it was still awaiting the Registrar of Societies' approval. AMANAH is taking over and rebranding the Workers' Party into a new political party spearheaded by progressive leaders, who have leftPAS.[11]
The new logo and flag was unveiled at its official launch on 16 September 2015.[12]
The ideology of the party is best described asprogressive Islamism, indicating a commitment to Islamic political ideals but in a moreprogressive andliberal democratic manner.[13] In addition to common reformist stance and rhetoric held by PH, the party remains socially conservative in line with Sharia law, such as prohibition of liquors and gambling.
The party has stated that Muslims should not force Islamic values on non-Muslims.[14] However, individual members of the party have called for abrogation of any law and court decision should they contradict with Sharia.[15]
