The Malaysian United Indigenous Party or Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM / BERSATU) is a political party in Malaysia. The party is led by the former fourth Malaysian Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad as Chairman and Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as President. Meanwhile, Dato' Seri Mukhriz Mahathir, who is the former's son and ex-Mentri Besar of Kedah will be Vice-President. Aside from these seasoned politicians, the founding members of the party also include UMNO rebel group Gabungan Ketua Cawangan Malaysia (GKCM)chairperson Kamarul Azman Habibur Rahman, former Langkawi UMNO delegate Anina Saadudin, former Bendang Baru UMNO youth chief Akhramsyah Sanusi and three-time winner of the Asian British Parliamentary (ABP) Debating Championship's Asia Best Speaker Award Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman.
When the party's registration was approved by the Registrar of Societies (ROS), Home Minister Dato' Seri Dr Zahid Hamidi have reminded the party that they are to identify itself as PPBM and not Bersatu, as the name has already been in use by six other existing political parties and doing so, might confuse the public. On the other hand, ROS director-general Mohammad Razin Abdullah explained that the party initially requested for "Bersatu" as the party's acronym but made a compromise after meeting with the agency. However, PPBM party officials have said that they will not stop the public from identifying them as Bersatu; if that is how they want to identify the party.
BERSATU considered a Malay nationalist party or Malay supremacy. According to the party constitution, its essence is to fight to support the ideals of Malay nationalism in order to maintain the honor and dignity of the nation, religion and country. It is also a fight for the rights of the Malays and the Bumiputera slogan: Forward, Justice and Prosperous.
The party's full membership is open to all Bumiputeras; which include Malays, natives from Sabah and Sarawak as well as the Orang Asli community. In addition, non-bumiputeras can also join the party as associate members. However, associate members are ineligible to vote and contest in party elections but they can be appointed to certain key party posts.
