The United for the Rights of Malaysians Party (abbrev: URIMAI; Malay: Parti Bersepakat Hak Rakyat Malaysia; Chinese: 马来西亚民权共识党; Tamil: மலேசியர் ஐக்கிய உரிமை கட்சியின்) is a Malaysian political party. It was founded by former Deputy Chief Minister of Penang Ramasamy Palanisamy after he left the Democratic 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 the People's Justice Party (PKR), both of which are part of the unity government, failed to represent the interests of the Indian population while in power despite claiming to be multi-racial.[3]
