Election manifestos: What Malaysians hope to see

FOR a multi-racial country like Malaysia and in a healthy democracy, an election manifesto of political parties serves as an indicator of commitment made by party to voters. It helps the people to make informed choices about which party to vote, whom to vote for and whom not to.

Manifestos outline details of the contested parties’ priorities and policies on a wide range of issues as well as specific action points that they will pursue in case they form the government over next five years.
