The manifesto, which consists of nine pillars to entice voters to vote for Gagasan, was launched by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.
Instead of GST, Gagasan proposes to replace it with a corporate savings tax and tax on stocks traded on the market.
The manifesto offers to abolish the current PTPTN debts to lighten the burden on youths with the eventual aim of providing free education in the country.
It also aims to provide free food to the poor and to give a one-off payment of RM2,000 for women to work from home.
There will also be a free school bus programme to lessen the burden on parents.
Gagasan also offers to waive excise duties and offer interest-free loans to buy cars below 1.3-litre capacity.
Affordable homes will be priced between RM50,000 and RM180,000.
Gagasan plans to restructure tolls operating for more than 15 years to reduce the burden on the people.
“When we took over the Terengganu state government in 1999, we abolished the toll without any financial problems. We managed to recover the money by charging higher taxes on the industrial and corporate sectors,” he said.
Gagasan promises to set up an administration free of corruption.
It will strengthen Islam as the federal religion and make Bahasa Malaysia the country’s main language for all subjects in school.
Gagasan plans to adjust the number of enforcement officers based on the population of a place while also increasing the number of specialist doctors and hospitals in the country.
Hadi, who is also the Gagasan chairman, said the manifesto offered voters fair governance aimed at abolishing corruption, increasing wages and reducing inflation in the country.
He also assured non-Muslims that their rights will not be jeopardised as it was wrong to impose Islam’s beliefs on followers of other religions.
Gagasan will join forces with any coalition that wins the most seats after the 14th general election, Hadi added.
“Who we work with really depends on who wins the election. We will wait and see how many seats they have,” he said to a question whether he will consider working with Pakatan Harapan.
