Manifesto vs Manifesto

It is the season for giving as far as political parties vying for votes are concerned. And the primary document of what the respective coalitions have put on the table is there in their manifestos. Our guest gives his two sen worth on the Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan manifestos: BN’s is 220 pages long, Pakatan’s is 150 pages long. Both don’t have a proper and easily digestible summary but Pakatan is more structured - 5 pillars, 10 promises within first 100 days and 60 promises overall. BN’s is glitzy, Pakatan’s less so but has more substance.
