When the party's registration
was approved by the Registrar of Societies (ROS), Home Minister Zahid Hamidi reminded
the party that they are to use the acronym "PPBM" and not
"Bersatu" on any official documents because the name has already been
in use by six other existing political parties hence doing so, might confuse
the public.[citation

stated their acronym as PPBM and not "Bersatu" therefore, using the
latter as acronym will contravene its constitution and is liable for action by
the ROS. On the other hand, ROS director-general Mohammad Razin Abdullah later
clarified that the party initially requested for "Bersatu" as the
party's acronym but made a compromise after meeting with the agency. However,
PPBM party officials have said that they will not stop the public from calling
them "Bersatu"; if that is how they want to identify the party.[citation

PPBM is considered a Malay
nationalist or Malay supremacist party. According to the party constitution,
its essence is to fight to support the ideals of Malay nationalism in order to
maintain the honor and dignity of the nation, religion and country. It is also
a fight for the rights of the Malays and
the Bumiputera slogan:
Forward, Justice and Prosperous.
The party's full membership is
open to all Bumiputeras, which include Malays, natives from Sabah and Sarawak as well as the Orang Asli community.
In addition, non-Bumiputeras can also join the party as associate members.
However, associate members are ineligible to vote and contest in party
