Pakatan Harapan has unveiled an expanded election manifesto for the 16th Negeri Sembilan state election, broadening its social initiatives beyond the bottom 40 percent (B40) to include middle-income M40 households, marking a strategic shift in the coalition's approach to welfare policy.
Pakatan Harapan's Johor election manifesto is the product of months of careful planning by coalition leadership, not borrowed from rival parties, says PKR vice-president Amirudin Shari.

Johor's Barisan Nasional coalition has unveiled an election manifesto centred on employment growth and social investment, committing to generate 200,000 quality jobs while allocating RM100 million to housing and education initiatives.
Pakatan Harapan will reveal its Johor state election manifesto days after the June 27 nomination deadline. Themed 'Johor Ke Depan,' the platform promises to replicate the coalition's governance success across other states.
