The Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (Malay: Ikatan Demokratik Malaysia, English: Malaysian United Democratic Alliance, Chinese: 马来西亚民主联合阵线,[1] Tamil: மலேசிய ஐக்கிய ஜனநாயக கூட்டணி) or shortly MUDA (means "young" in Malay), is a political party of Malaysia, formed by former Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman in September 2020.

History

Formation

The party was formed by former Minister of Youth and Sports, Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman in 17 September 2020. Syed Saddiq, who is also the MP for Muar, was originally a member of the Malaysian United Indigenous Party, but was sacked in May amid the political crisis, along with 4 other MPs led by ex-Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.[2] Mahathir later formed the Homeland Fighters' Party[3][4] and it was rumoured that Syed Saddiq would join. However, he later confirmed that he would not join Mahathir's party.[5] Subsequently, on 17 September, he registered his new party with the current name.[6]

The sponsors of the party include Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, Amir Abdul Hadi, Dr. Tanussha Francis Xavier, Sharizal Denci, Afiqah Zulkifli, Lim Wei Jiet, Luqman Long, Radzi Tajuddin, Tarmizi Anuwar, Mathen Muniasupran, Mutalib Uthman, Siti Rahayu Baharin and Dr. Teo Lee Ken.

Syed has originally mentioned that his new party has 2 role models — La Republique En Marche! of France and the now-defunct Future Forward Party of Thailand.[7] He has also stated that his party shall be multi-racial and youth-based.[7]
