A Malaysian NGO campaigning against communist ideology and supporting those who have renounced Chinese Communist Party membership will hold two public gatherings in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday (19 April).

Pertubuhan Tuidang Malaysia notified the Wangsa Maju district police in a letter dated 18 March — sighted by TRP — of a planned peaceful assembly for the morning.

The first gathering for Tuidang members is scheduled from 10 am to 11 am along Jalan Ampang — near the Chinese Embassy — with around 30 participants expected, and speeches delivered via a public address system.

A second public event will be held near the Bukit Bintang intersection area from 5 pm to 6 pm, with participants asked to gather by 4:30 pm.

Members of the public are welcome to attend.

Both gatherings carry an anti-communism theme.

Pertubuhan Tuidang Malaysia said its aim is to prevent the spread of communist ideology and culture in Malaysia, and to show solidarity with the 459 million people it says have left the CPC worldwide.

One Week Before A Significant Anniversary

Sunday’s gatherings fall one week before 25 April — a date that carries weight for Falun Gong practitioners and the broader anti-communist movement worldwide.

On 25 April, 1999, an estimated 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners gathered peacefully near Zhongnanhai in Beijing, requesting the release of detained members in what became one of the largest peaceful assemblies in modern Chinese history.

The Chinese government responded with a sweeping crackdown, launching a persecution of Falun Gong that human rights groups say continues to this day.

25 April has since been marked annually as a day of commemoration for religious freedom violations in China — a backdrop that lends significance to Sunday’s gatherings in Kuala Lumpur beyond their modest size.

While Falun Gong and the Tuidang movement are distinct, they share common ground — both oppose the CCP, and both have faced suppression under it.

Many who renounced their CCP membership through the Tuidang movement cite the persecution of Falun Gong as a defining example of the party’s brutality, and the two communities have often stood in solidarity at public events worldwide.

A Quiet Campaign With an Uneasy History

Pertubuhan Tuidang Malaysia is a registered non-governmental organisation (NGO) that campaigns for Chinese citizens to renounce their membership in the Communist Party of China (CCP)— a movement known globally as “Tuidang,” or “quit the party.”

Rooted in the publication Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, which covers various aspects of the CCP, including its nature, origins, and record of governance over the Chinese people, the Tuidang movement has grown into a worldwide campaign.

Locally, the group’s volunteers have been active at night markets and public spaces, raising awareness about what they describe as the dangers of CCP ideology.

The organisation’s activities have not always gone smoothly.

In August 2025, volunteers reported being threatened by unidentified men while conducting anti-communist activities.

Earlier that year, the group drew public attention to a stone carving of Mao Zedong’s face and poem discovered at Nirvana Memorial Park in Semenyih, which it flagged as evidence of communist ideology spreading in Malaysia.
