THE Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (MUDA) has reaffirmed its commitment to challenging entrenched political elites, pledging to advance a new, fearless approach to governance centred on the voice of the people.
Acting President Amira Aisya Abd Aziz declared that the youth must be willing to confront the old political order, which continues to shape the country’s direction according to outdated interests.
Speaking at MUDA’s 2025 Annual General Meeting and the 2026–2029 party elections at Bangunan Peladang on Saturday, Amira said the presence of MUDA demonstrates that young Malaysians are ready to enact change and reject traditional political patterns.
“We will not allow these political dinosaurs to tell us what we cannot do. If they call us cowards, we confront them face to face. If they say we are weak, we stand outside Parliament for hours demanding them to amend laws that oppress the people,” she said.
Amira acknowledged that MUDA is often perceived as a minor party, yet she insisted that it has proven its resilience and capacity to grow into a national political force.
“Many say MUDA is a mosquito party. MUDA is a kids’ party. But no matter what they say, we have shown that MUDA can become a national party,” she added.
She also emphasised that MUDA has never relied on alliances with larger parties to contest elections. “People say MUDA must ride on the banners of big parties. We have demonstrated that MUDA contests elections without ever using anyone else’s banner,” she noted.
Underscoring the party’s grassroots approach, Amira Aisya stressed that MUDA’s work is not confined to air-conditioned offices or elite discussion forums.
“MUDA is not only in air-conditioned rooms; we are also unafraid to stand under the sun on the streets to amplify the voice of the people,” she said, highlighting the party’s dedication to advocating for marginalised communities.
She further reiterated that institutional reform remains a core tenet of MUDA’s platform, and the party will continue to fight for transparency, accountability, and the equitable use of public resources. - March 14, 2026
