The party's stated intention was to act as a third force in Malaysian politics and assume the role of providing check and balance on both the ruling and opposition parties.[1]

The initial membership of the party consisted of civil society members from the ethnic Chinese community helmed by business owner, Tan Gin Theam, and aided by two former Barisan Nasional politicians, David Yim and Lim Boo Chang.[2]

2018 general election

The party contested 20 state seats and five parliamentary seats, all in the state of Penang, in the 2018 Malaysian general election but failed in their maiden electoral venture with all their candidates having lost their deposits.[3]
