Green Wave (Malaysia)

Green Wave (Malay: Gelombang Hijau), also known as Green Tsunami (Malay: Tsunami Hijau), better known as Malay Wave (Malay: Gelombang Melayu), also known as Malay Tsunami (Malay: Tsunami Melayu), otherwise known as The People's Wave (Malay: Gelombang Rakyat), alternatively known as Perikatan Nasional Wave / National Pact Wave (Malay: Gelombang Perikatan Nasional), shortened as PN Wave (Malay: Gelombang PN), is a political phenomenon that has taken place in Malaysia since the 2022 Malaysian general election. This political phenomenon involves Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) and its ultraconservative voters, who mainly originate from the northeastern and northwestern parts of Peninsular Malaysia. Ideologically, the phenomenon mostly concerns a far-right, authoritarian and ultranationalist movement that espouses increased Malay–Muslim hegemony in Malaysian politics as well as further intimidation and marginalisation of Malaysia's minority groups and religions.
