KUALA LUMPUR: In effort to unite the local Indian Muslim community, Datuk Jamarulkhan S. Kadir has announced the formation of Parti India Muslim Bersatu Malaysia (PIBM).
Jamarulkhan S. Kadir, who is the PIBM’s protem president, said the party was formed because there is no political platform for the Indian Muslim community in the country following GE14.
“Yes, there is Malaysian Indian Muslim Congress (Kimma), but the whole political scenario changed after GE14.
“We feel that there isn’t an Indian Muslim party in the country that is in the same direction as the government. In short, there is a vacuum for the Indian Muslim community to work with the government of the day,” he said.
Jamarulkhan, who was speaking to the media at the launch of PIBM at the Malaysian Tourism Centre (MaTiC) on Friday (Sept 21), said the party aims to recruit 5,000 members within three months.
