The Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM, Malay: Parti Sosialis Malaysia; Jawi: ڤرتي سوسياليس مليسيا; Chinese: 马来西亚社会主义党; pinyin: Mǎláixīyà shèhuì zhǔyì dǎng; Tamil: மலேசிய சோசியலிஸ்ட் கட்சி, romanized: Malēciya cōciyalisṭ kaṭci), is a socialist political party in Malaysia and an offshoot of Parti Rakyat Malaysia, which originally upheld the same ideology. In its first ten years following its founding in 1998, the party was denied registration as a political party by the Federal Government of Malaysia. The original reason given was that PSM is a threat to national security. However, the Home Ministry gave them the green light in June 2008.
The party has no representatives in either Dewan Rakyat or any Dewan Undangan Negeri after opting to strike out alone during the 14th General elections, in direct competition with Barisan Nasional, Pakatan Harapan and Gagasan Sejahtera.
