Howard Lee says the multi-cornered contests in GE15, involving parties that have been in government at some point, bring a new paradigm of focusing on policies instead of politics and alliances.
Putrajaya’s Pakatan Harapan candidate Noraishah Mydin Abdul-Aziz, a scientist with spina bifida who uses a wheelchair, says she prayed for second place on the ballot and was glad to be listed after BN’s Tengku Adnan because she's different from everyone else.
Pakatan Harapan’s GE15 manifesto should be welcomed as a recognition of the real (but often ignored) problems that Malaysians are facing now with health, and social and aged care.
DAP’s Howard Lee says a new tax or a co-pay system to fund health and aged care is not on the table for Harapan because “now is not the time”. The UK launched its NHS in 1948 after World War II.
