PHILOSOPHY AND PURPOSE OF PAKATAN HARAPAN

GOVERNMENT

The philosophy of Pakatan Harapan Government is based on the

philosophy and spirit of Malaysia’s Federal Constitution, the Rukunegara,
the vision of our founding fathers, continuous reform and progressive and

democratic development ideas.

These are well encapsulated in the concept of Maqasid Syariah (The higher

purposes of Syariah) with its ultimate aim towards a national development
objectives that gives blessings and justice to all. This framework will ensure

our desire to see a new Malaysia will be realised.

To be more specific, Pakatan Harapan wants to work with everyone to

pursue a continuous agenda of reform in order to create a future that is

better and beneficial to all – developed, peaceful, harmonious – that are
guided by shared values such as knowledge, liberty, truth, social and

economic justice, pride, civilisation, unity, merit-based society and
democracy.

Pakatan Harapan will realise the Bangsa Malaysia that is outlined in Vision
2020.

We reiterate our pledge as stated in the Pakatan Harapan Promise (9
January 2016) that we will:

• Uphold the Federal Constitution; Islam as a religion of the Federation
and other religions can be professed freely and harmoniously in line

with Article 3; and champion the special position of the Malays and

the Bumiputera of Sabah and Sarawak as well as the legitimate
rights of all citizens in line with Article 153.
