Malaysia Makkal Sakti Party

The Malaysia Makkal Sakti Party (Malay: Parti Makkal Sakti Malaysia; Tamil: மலேசியா மக்கள் சக்தி கட்சி, romanized: Malēciyā Makkaḷ Cakti Kaṭci; abbrev: MMSP) is a political party in Malaysia that seeks to champion ethnic Malaysian-Indian issues. It is an unaffiliated offshoot of the apolitical Hindu Rights Action Force movement formed by disgruntled former members and has copied HINDRAF's slogan of People's Power (மக்கள் சக்தி / Makkal Sakti) as the party name.[2][3][4]
