Established by former SPA members in conjunction with UDP Malaya, which was a splinter of MCA Malaya. Barely two months later, most of its members resigned due to its leaders' decision to associate with anti-Malaysia parties. In the 1963 General Election, UDP fielded only one candidate and became defunct thereafter. In the Peninsular, its counterpart later co-founded Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (Malaysian People's Movement Party) along with academics and members of Labour Party Malaya, which still operates today. |
