History
Malaysian Workers' Party (PPPM)
The ''Malaysian Workers' Party'' () was founded in January 1978 by Ganga Nayar, the first female to head a political party in Malaysia. Nayar was its lone candidate for the 1978 general election in the Sungei Besi parliamentary constituency and the Sungei Way state constituency. She performed poorly and lost her deposits in both contests. Since then, the Workers' Party contested very few Malaysian elections. The symbol or logo of the Workers' Party was the hoe andTakeover by the Gerakan Harapan Baru
In 2015 GHB took over the Workers Party after its attempt to form a new party called ''Parti Progresif Islam'' was rejected by the Home Ministry. Gerakan Harapan Baru was given permission to take over the party, with the only condition given by the existing party members that the party would not co-operate with the Barisan Nasional coalition and UMNO. GHB chief Mohamad Sabu said they would then change the Workers' Party's name to the ''National Trust Party''. Once the Registrar of Societies approved the new name, it was expected that the Amanah party would be launched on 16 September in conjunction with Malaysia Day, with at least 35,000 members.Rebranding to Parti Amanah Negara
Malaysian Workers' Party members approved the change of its name to Parti Amanah Negara in an extraordinary general meeting on 8 September 2015, resulting in the change of its logo and flag. AMANAH was officially launched on 16 September 2015 at the national level, while it was still awaiting the Registrar of Societies' approval. AMANAH is taking over and rebranding the Workers' Party into a new political party spearheaded by progressive leaders, who have left PAS. The new logo and flag was unveiled at its official launch on 16 September 2015.Ideology and political positions
The ideology of the party is best described as progressive Islamism, indicating a commitment to Islamic political ideals but in a more progressive and liberal democratic manner. In addition to common reformist stance and rhetoric held by PH, the party remains socially conservative in line with Sharia law, such as prohibition of liquors and gambling. The party has stated that Muslims should not force Islamic values on non-Muslims. However, individual members of the party have called for abrogation of any law and court decision should they contradict with Sharia.List of Leaders
