The Green Party of Malaysia (Malay: Parti Hijau Malaysia) is a political party in Malaysia with an environmentalism focus. It was formed in 2010 as a virtual movement.[2] Founder Azlan Adnan's original intent was to empower and unite all Environmental NGOs (ENGOs) in Malaysia and to push the green agenda into the Malaysian political consciousness.[3][4] The party is affiliated with Himpunan Hijau[5] with more than 80 NGO's. The party was initially anti-Barisan Nasional[6] but over the years have become more divergent and is more critical of both Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan.
