History

PUTRA was launched by Ibrahim Ali as its pro-tem president on 17 August 2018[2] following its online registration application on 13 August, delivery of its establishment documents on 16 August; and subsequently a few meetings then with the Registrar of Societies (ROS). In March 2019, Ibrahim had filed a court application for leave and judicial review to challenge the action by ROS to not approve PUTRA and sought a mandamus order to compel the respondent to approve the application for registration by PUTRA.[3] Finally PUTRA was officially approved and recognised by the ROS on 8 May 2019.[4]

Ibrahim who is also the founding president of Malay supremacy Non-governmental Organisation (NGO), Pertubuhan Pribumi Perkasa (Perkasa) announced PUTRA will serve as an alternative to the Malays and would champion the rights of the Malays and Islam after the 2018 general election which saw the downfall of Barisan Nasional (BN) and United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) government; echoing his earlier projection in 2013 of turning Perkasa into a full-fledged political party.[1][5] Almost all of party constitution of PUTRA is based on the constitution of the "original" UMNO founded in 1946, to match the pure goals of the party in the beginning.[6] The party's membership is open to all Malay, Bumiputera Malaysians but also non-Bumiputera who are Muslims as associate members.[7]
