Gerakan Gabungan Anti-Imperialis or GEGAR is a progressive youth-led movement that aims to build a left-wing, multicultural, and transnational front in Malaysia against Zionism and U.S. imperialism. Since their formation in 2023, they’ve been organising and mobilising against U.S. interventionist aggression in the Global South, with a special focus on the liberation of Palestine. 

We speak to Kamal Aarif K, organising committee member of GEGAR, about the organisation, what it means to organise against Western imperialism in Malaysia, the consequences of the US-led global order, and more. 

GEGAR is also one of the organising groups of this year’s Labour Day rally happening tomorrow, the 1st of May. The march will begin at Masjid Negara at 3 pm and end at Dataran Merdeka.
