The Malaysian Makkal Sakhti Party (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(HINDRAF) movement formed by disgruntled former members and has copied HINDRAF's slogan of People's Power (மக்கள் சக்தி / Makkal Sakthi) as the party name.[1][2][3]
Though not an official member of the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition party, MMSP maintains friendly relations to BN and seeks to be admitted to the coalition.[4][5]
