Nonetheless, the negotiated Anglo-Malay proposals were published as a government White Paper on 24 December 1946 together with a note from the Governor, Edward Gent, that the proposals were conditionally accepted by the British government provided that "all interested communities in Malaya have had full and free opportunity of expressing their views" Major activities People's Constitution Opposition to the Anglo-Malay proposal increased with demonstrations being held across Malaya and consultations were held to prepare an alternative set of proposals to be tabled to the British government. On 22 February 1947, a coalition of Malay organisations opposed to the Anglo-Malay agreement and led by the MNP, Pusat Tenaga Ra'ayat (PUTERA), was formed and by March of the same year the PMCJA had established a coalition with PUTERA known as PUTERA-PMCJA.
