Angkatan Amanah Merdeka (AMANAH) or Independence Trust Forces is an NGO founded by Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah on 22 July 2011 at the Memorial Tunku Abdul Rahman in Kuala Lumpur.[1] It is founded to represent the voice of Malaysians and its mission is to fight against corruption, kronisme, racism, extremism and the wastage of government expenditure according to Federal Constitution.
The formation of Amanah has created speculation it is to serve as platform for Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah and its others leaders to maintain their powers[2] and also to enable Tengku to become an alternative choice as the Prime Minister for Pakatan Rakyat in the case that they win the 13th General Election and Anwar Ibrahim founded guilty and imprisoned for the court case he was facing at that time.[3] As the Amanah is just an NGO, there are some demands for it to change to become a political party and join the opposition in the coming general election.[4]
