History

edit

Parti Cinta Malaysia (PCM)

edit

Its members include former GERAKAN Vice President and Member of Parliament Huan Cheng Guan,[2] and former Sarawak State Assembly independent member for Ngemah seat; Gabriel Adit Demong.[3] For the first time ever, the party contested the Sarawak state election, 2011 using its own logo after approval was given by the Election Commission. However, party lost its only seat, Ngemah, by 995 votes to Barisan Nasional, and their candidates were defeated in other seats such as Simunjan, Balai Ringin, Machan and Bekenu. Despite the defeat, PCM had contested in various seats in Penang and other states in Malaysia as well in the 13th General Elections. During the 13th Malaysian general election, 2013, PCM failed to win any of the seats its candidates contested, with most candidates further losing their deposits. As a result, the party closed all its service centres in the state of Penang. In the 14th Malaysian general election, 2018, PCM become Gagasan Sejahtera's strategic partner, and again lost in all the seats it had contested, with their candidates losing their deposits. As a result, the party is unrepresented in the Dewan Rakyat and state legislative assemblies of Malaysia. Huan Cheng Guan also resigned from PCM Deputy President and quit active politics on 14 May 2018 in keeping his promise as Lim Guan Eng is out of Penang.[4]

Reset Malaysia

edit

The party's roots erupted from initially internal tension within BERSATU beginning in 2025. Wan Saiful Wan Jan, Tasek Gelugor MP, collected statutory declarations from 120 division chiefs demanding party chairman Muhyiddin Yassin to outline transition plan for future Hamzah Zainudin leadership.[5] Similar calls were chanted during the annual general meeting in 2025 by unknown delegates shouting "Tan Sri, resign!" (Malay: Turun Tan Sri!), before being outnumbered by Muhyiddin loyalists.[6] By mid October BERSATU began sacking and suspending leaders such as Wan Saiful and former Deputy Sports Minister Wan Ahmad Fayhsal from the party, followed by gradual similar measures against MPs and MLAs seen as aligned with them.[7]

This culminated in sacking of Opposition Leader Hamzah Zainudin on 13 February 2026. He then met with PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang,[8] gathering what he claimed as majority of BERSATU division chiefs and 19 active and sacked BERSATU MPs in an event dubbed as "Political Reset and Direction Announcement".[9] This was seen as a move aligning the faction with PAS, adding to dispute PAS previously had with BERSATU from 2025 Perlis political crisis. The faction then named itself as Reset Malaysia and distanced itself from BERSATU.[10]

Further attempts to reconcile PAS and BERSATU failed and PAS decided to break political cooperation with BERSATU on 8 June 2026.[11] Following the announcement, the Reset Movement announced its transformation into a party called WAWASAN on 13 June 2026. Hamzah mentioned that the name of the party was suggested by Hadi Awang.[12] PN chairman Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar present at the declaration authorised the new party to compete under Perikatan Nasional.[13]

WAWASAN acronym has been requested by an unrelated Sarawak-based Parti Sedar Rakyat seeking to change its name into Parti Wawasan Rakyat.[14] On 17 June 2026, without specifying which party he took over, Hamzah Zainudin claimed the party is not a newly created political party, but taking over an existing party and renamed it to the current name.[15] This was later clarified to be Parti Cinta Malaysia, who organised an Extraordinary General Meeting to finalise the takeover.[16]
