Pakatan pledges sweeping reforms, carrots for East M'sia

1ST PAKATAN CONVENTION The three-member Pakatan Rakyat coalition today took another step in its bid to capture Putrajaya by unveiling a common policy document.

In a direct response to its race-based rival Barisan Nasional, Pakatan's common policy promises to reduce race-based policies and enacting a Race Relations Act.

At the institutional level, Pakatan pledged to ensure full independence and transparency of the Judicial Appointment Commission to restore public confidence in the judicial system.

On the economy, Pakatan aims to decentralise state economic management which the policy document said will boost efficiency, productivity and balanced geographical development.
