GEORGE TOWN: The unity government will launch the Penang unity manifesto on Aug 1 at the Butterworth Arena for its 40 candidates in the 15th state election, says Chow Kon Yeow.
The Penang DAP chairman said the manifesto would include policies based on input from Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional as a united front.
"We will also touch upon the last manifesto in terms of what has been achieved and if there is anything that is unfinished, it will be continued in this term," he said during a press conference at Wisma DAP here today (July 29).
Chow, who is also the incumbent Chief Minister, said this was the first time that the state’s manifesto would be introduced as a unity manifesto and the candidates introduced as unity candidates following the alliance between Pakatan and Barisan.
"This is something special, because previously, there was no cooperation between the two coalitions, so this manifesto shows the cooperation between Pakatan and Barisan in facing (the election),” he said.
Chow also said that a Madani roadshow would take place in Penang on Aug 5.
He said the campaign involved the participation of leaders from the unity government including Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. - Bernama
