Title
- Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (PGRM)
Summary
- "The Malaysian People's Movement Party (Malay: Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia, commonly abbreviated as Gerakan or less commonly as PGRM) is a political party in Malaysia. The party was founded on 24 March 1968, and it is part of the ruling National Front coalition. During its formation, Gerakan was an opposition party not affiliated with the national ruling coalition, the Alliance Party, the predecessor of the National Front. Following the 1969 general election, Gerakan won most of the seats in the state legislature of Penang. However, in 1972 Gerakan joined the Alliance Party which later became the coalition called the National Front, where it remains until today. As of 2006, about 80% of Gerakan's members are ethnic Chinese, another 15% are Indian, and the rest are Malays or other races. The party is assisted by an affiliated think tank called SEDAR Institute (Socio-Economic Development And Research Institute). The party is a member of the Council of Asian Liberals and Democrats. In 2016, for the first time in history, the President of Barisan Nasional did not attend the annual general meeting of Gerakan and instead briefly appeared on video for 2 minutes." -- Summary retrieved on October 7, 2019 http://dbpedia.org/resource/Parti_Gerakan_Rakyat_Malaysia
