The Malay Dignity rally (Malay: Himpunan Maruah Melayu) was a rally that took place on 16 September 2015 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[3] The rally was organised by National Silat Federation (Malay: Persatuan Silat Kebangsaan, PESAKA), a silat Melayu federation of Malaysia.[citation needed] The rally aimed to counter the Bersih 4 rally and to show support for the incumbent Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak and his government. 16 September is the day of Malaysia's establishment. The rally organiser, also an UMNO Supreme Council member, Annuar Musa admitted that the rally was racist in nature and participants were paid to take part in the rally.[4][5][6] Medias reported that some of the participants who were ferried into Kuala Lumpur by buses from various parts of the country revealed they were clueless about the purpose of the rally, saying they were given the red T-shirts,[7] while an independent polling centre found that only 24% of Malays supported the rally, and 53% opposed it.[8]
