"Where is the democracy and basic human rights that Ambiga champions? I hope one day, I am able to date Ambiga," said Ibrahim in a statement today.
He added he was willing to change his name to "Samyhim", if that was what it took to allow his right-wing Malay group to become a part of the Negara-Ku movement.
In turn, he suggested Ambiga change her name to "Aminah" to begin the process of national integration.
"I agree to change my name to Samyhim to fulfil the conditions needed for Perkasa to be accepted into Negara-Ku, led by Ambiga. Perkasa has a right to be heard because Perkasa is a legitimate body.
"My name is Samyhim and I give Ambiga the name Aminah. It is part of the national integration process. It is also to protect Ambiga's credibility so she is not seen as favouring anyone when dealing with Perkasa," he added.
A new movement called "Negara-Ku" was launched Thursday to heal Malaysia and restore hope, given recent challenges that continue to threaten the peace and harmony of its multi-ethnic and multi-faith society.
Touted as the "people's movement to reclaim our nation", its patrons are Ambiga and national laureate Datuk A. Samad Said.
Some 68 civil society groups and NGOs have endorsed Negara-Ku, which is aimed at mobilising and empowering people to return to the basics of the Federal Constitution, the Malaysia Agreement, and the Rukunegara.
Ambiga said the movement seeks to give people the correct information to meet the challenges facing Malaysian society.
This will be done though the use of videos, social media and forums and talks “to get people to listen, to question and to think”, she added.
Ibrahim today said he also wanted his name changed to Ah Him, to avoid criticism from the DAP and the Bar Council.
"To the DAP and the president of the Bar Council, please do not condemn me anymore because I have long changed my name from Ibrahim Ali to 'Ah Him'.
"I did this as a sacrifice to fulfil their desires," said Ibrahim sarcastically.
Meanwhile, Ibrahim also urged Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to reshuffle the National Consultative Council (NUCC) members, as it had alleged ill intentions.
"The prime minister should reshuffle the members in NUCC. The reprimand must be followed by action.
"This is what is called providing leadership direction and being firm," said Ibrahim.
He also claimed that the Malay members of the NUCC were blind to the fact that they being used.
He suggested that PAS central committee member Datuk Dr Mujahid Yusof Rawa should also change his name to "Muntahik" for wanting Perkasa and Isma to be outlawed.
