TheUnited for the Rights of Malaysians Party (abbrev:URIMAI;Malay:Parti Bersepakat Hak Rakyat Malaysia) is aMalaysian political party. It was founded by formerDeputy Chief Minister of PenangRamasamy Palanisamy after he left theDemocratic Action Party (DAP). The party has yet to be registered by the country's Registrar of Societies.[1] Pending legalisation, interim party chairman Ramsamy has referred to the party as "movement to defend the rights of the people, especially the non-Malays."[2] Despite being Indian-focused, Ramasamy has asserted that it would be open to all ethnic groups,[2] but has said he would not refer to it as "multi-racial like other political parties."[1]
The party's founding, according to Ramasamy, is motivated by the country's neglect of its Indian population.[3] He also asserted that the Democratic Action Party and its partner thePeople's Justice Party (PKR), both of which are part of theunity government, failed to represent the interests of the Indian population while in power despite claiming to be multi-racial.[3]
The party helped campaign for theSocialist Party of Malaysia during the2025 Ayer Kuning by-election.[4]
