PILLAR 1: REDUCE THE PEOPLE’S BURDEN
Today Malaysians are burdened by a sudden surge in the cost of
living. The burden has forced some Malaysians to take up two jobs, such
that they do not have time to be with families and friends. Household debt
has skyrocketed to the extent that more than 20,000 people under 35 years
old have been declared bankrupt.
Students in higher education institutions are saddled with debt as soon as
they graduate. Worst, villagers in rural areas and FELDA settlements are
also facing a hard time.
All these are destroying the pride of our citizens. We can no longer afford to
live in our own country, while corrupt politicians enjoy obscenely lavish
lifestyle.
Pakatan Harapan brings forth its commitment with unequivocal
commitment and responsibility, to reduce these high cost of living burdens
amongst the rakyat through the promises herein.
