The failures and successes of Pakatan Harapan


Happier days: Dr Mahathir and his colleagues in the early days of the Pakatan Harapan administration. During the 19 months they were in power, Pakatan was criticised for many things, including poor communication and U-turns in policies.

LOOKING back on the less than two years Pakatan Harapan served as the federal government, there were many successes, as well as evident weaknesses in the way the coalition governed the country.

Pakatan, which made history by defeating the Barisan Nasional government in the May 2018 general elections, faced a lot of criticisms in the months that followed the elections. Much of this criticism, in the early days, was in relation to its ambitious election manifesto, which featured many tall promises that would end up unfulfilled due to the government’s financial constraints.
