Presiden PAS lancar manifesto ‘Negara Berkebajikan'


KUALA LUMPUR, 21 Feb (Hrkh) - Manifesto PAS 'Kerajaan Beramanah, Adil dan Bersih Menuju Negara Berkebajikan' yang diuar-uarkan sebelum ini akhirnya dilancarkan oleh Presiden PAS, Tuan Guru Dato' Seri Abdul Hadi Awang di Pejabat Agung PAS, Jalan Raja Laut petang tadi.

Dalam pelancaran manifesto itu, PAS menonjolkan Negara Berkebajikan sebagai satu tawaran untuk menunaikan keperluan rakyat dalam menghadapi penderitaan dalam semua aspek termasuk politik, ekonomi dan sosial.

Menurut Abdul Hadi dalam ucapan pelancaran, tanggungjawab menunaikan Negara Berkebajikan ini adalah lebih luas daripada istilah yang difahami di politik Barat 'welfare state.'

"Walaupun sebahagiannya dilaksana oleh negara-negar Barat, objektif yang dimaksudkan oleh PAS dalam negara ini adalah lebih luas," katanya.
