FOREWORD

ASSALAMUALAIKUM AND SALAM SEJAHTERA

This book contains Pakatan Harapan’s promises to the people of Malaysia
on the steps we will take when we become the government. These are the
policies and actions that we will implement to give this country the
treatment that it needs, to REBUILD THE NATION and to FULFIL THE
HOPE of the people.

On behalf of everyone in Pakatan Harapan, with humility and in full
submission to Allah SWT, I offer ourselves to shoulder the heavy
responsibility of saving the country. We appeal to the people to give us a
chance to showcase our abilities and to help the country.

With the publication of this book, we also humbly pledge that we are willing
to be judged by the people on how far we fulfil our promises when we are in
government. If we fail or if we break our promises, by all means reject us in
the next general election.

This manifesto is comprehensive and it covers many important elements,
especially on ways to help those in need. We are always willing to listen to
the advice and opinion of the people.

In preparing this manifesto, we have conducted discussions with many
stakeholders. I want to record my gratitude to everyone who contributed to
the many great ideas. This is a manifesto that reflects the aspiration of the
people. It was written based on inputs from the people for the people.

This beloved nation of ours is in dire situation due to the grave wrongdoings
of the ruling regime. We cannot hope this regime will correct itself. The only
way to correct the situation is by bringing in a new government that has the
credibility to implement the promises in this manifesto. A change of
government will correct the mistakes of the current regime. But retaining
the current regime will destroy the country. The choice is the hands of the
rakyat.
