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 US imperialism.

Since its formation in 2023, it has been organising and mobilising against US interventionist aggression in the Global South, with a special focus on the liberation of Palestine. Gegar was also one of the organising groups of this year’s Labour Day rally.

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