A simple table of where Pakatan Harapan, Barisan Nasional, Bersama and Perikatan Nasional stand across ten subsidy, energy, labour and care policies. Select any cell for the reasoning and the sources behind it.
This is an independent, educational reference. It compares where four political groupings in Peninsular Malaysia stand on ten current subsidy, energy, labour and care policies, so that readers can see the policy landscape at a glance — with the reasoning and the sources behind every position one tap away.
It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or speaking for any party, coalition or government body. Positions are interpretive readings of the public record, not official party wording, and they will shift as the next general election nears. The site exists to inform, not to advocate for or against any party.
Every position is an interpretive synthesis of public statements, ministerial records, coalition platforms and contemporary reporting, as of June 2026. Nothing here is drawn from an official manifesto; each cell links to the reporting it rests on, and the complete source list sits at the foot of the page. Each party is placed on a four-point scale — Supports, Mixed, Opposes or No distinct position — defined in the key below.
One structural feature is worth naming plainly, because it shapes how the table reads. The parties in government — Pakatan Harapan, with Barisan Nasional as junior partner — are the ones that author, fund and implement these ten policies. Because of that, the government is referenced in the public record far more often than the others, and is tied to many more of the policies, most often as Supports. A party that designs and runs a programme leaves evidence on nearly every measure; an opposition or newly formed party comments only on the issues it chooses to contest. So those parties naturally carry more No distinct position marks.
This asymmetry reflects who holds power and authorship, not an editorial preference. A sitting government will always leave a denser footprint across active policy than the parties outside it. The practical reading rule: a thin row for an opposition or new party usually means silence on that policy — not opposition to it — and a dash is the absence of a stated position, never a hidden judgement.
