Ronnie Liu, a man known for his outspoken nature, recently announced the formation of Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) with the aim of fighting for a non-racial, non-theocratic democracy in Malaysia. In a press conference, Ronnie expressed that PBM's core values include nurturing an open, free, harmonious, and prosperous society. Although Ronnie had a history of disagreements with the leadership of his former party, the Democratic Action Party (DAP), he remained a loyal supporter of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
PBM's primary focus is to cater to non-Malay electorates in states such as Johor, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Perak, and Penang, with potential support also coming from Selangor and the Federal Territories. Despite the skepticism surrounding the party's prospects, Ronnie's charm and charisma have garnered positive reactions from many non-Malays on the ground.
This newfound support has led to speculation that PBM may perform better than previously anticipated, potentially "punching above its weight" in the upcoming general election.
