Pakatan to launch joint manifesto next week

With the launch of their joint manifesto due next week, opposition coalition Pakatan Rakyat is set to kick-start its campaign for the general election (GE) which is imminent.

“The launch of the manifesto marks the start of our GE13 campaign...

“This is the first time in history that a federal opposition coalition is leading the way,” said PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli (left).

Speaking to reporters in a press conference at party headquarters in Petaling Jaya today, he explained that their intention is to direct election campaign and debates into policy matters and more mature discussions.

“We want to ensure this GE campaign will focus on people’s issues and policies against the usual racist slander brought by the BN,” reasoned Rafizi.
