Pertubuhan Profesional Melayu & Pewaris Bangsa (English: Malay Professionals and Race Inheritors Organisation; better known by its abbreviation: ProWaris) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) that started in 2001 as a movement of Malay professionals aiming to fight for the Malay's agendas.

History and leadership

[edit]

The idle and delayed movement of ProWaris can be attributed to Malaysia's struggling economy and conflicting interests between the government and its people. Its leadership attempted to raise a third voice—in order to influence the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) party—a voice similar to the leadership of Shahrir Abdul Samad; who was more inline with the ex-prime minister Mahathir Mohamad.[1][2] ProWaris demanded that Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi resign based on his weak leadership.[3][4]

Its president, Feriz Omar, was said to have accused the Malays of lacking the courage to confront the country's leadership issues.[5] Feriz Omar denied making such statements.[6]

ProWaris became inactive and dormant notably after Shahrir lost his bid for a place in the Supreme Council in the party leadership election in 2009 UMNO General Assembly and consequently resigned from the Cabinet.[7]
