The National Integrity Party (Malay: Parti Amanah Negara "AMANAH") is a registered political party in Malaysia advocating political Islam. The party was founded as the Malaysia Workers' Party (Malay: Parti Pekerja-Pekerja Malaysia) before being handed over in August 2015 to a group of progressive Islamists who were leaders of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) which have lost badly in recent party election in 2015.. This group of Islamists then redefined the Malaysia Workers' Party as an Islamic party on 16 September 2015. The party currently has six elected Members of Parliament. Involvement from NGOs like Ikram Malaysia are also known to have give huge contributions to the founding of this party.
The Workers' Party was founded in January 1978 by Ganga Nayar, the first female to head a political party in Malaysia. The party had its lone candidate, the president herself for the 1978 general election in the Sungei Besi parliamentary constituency and the Sungei Way state constituency. She lost her deposits in both contests. Since then, the Workers' Party does not contest in any Malaysian election.
The Workers' Party was a dormant party until it was taken over by Gerakan Harapan Baru on 31 August 2015.
The symbol or logo of the Workers' Party was the hoe and gear with the dark green background.
Gerakan Harapan Baru took over the Workers Party after its attempt to form a new party called Parti Progresif Islam (PPI) was rejected by the Home Ministry. Gerakan Harapan Baru was agreed with the only given condition in the agreement with the existing Malaysian Workers' Party members that requires the party does not co-operate with Barisan Nasional and United Malays National Organisation.
