Description

The Democratic Action Party or DAP is a political party in Malaysia’s ruling coalition Pakatan Harapan. It has become part of a new government elected into power on 9 May 2018.

This is the first time Malaysia had a new government since the Independence of Malaya in 1957 and the formation of Malaysia in 1963. This new era is dubbed by the media and political observers as the New Malaysia.

DAP's RocketThe DAP was formed on 18 March 1966. Using its symbol of the ROCKET, the DAP had contested in 12 general elections from 1969 to 2018.

The party is committed to the struggle for a free, fair and democratic Malaysia, based on the principles of freedom, equal opportunity and equality, social and economic justice, human rights, and founded on the institution of parliamentary democracy.

Our original ideology was democratic socialism that promotes the idea of Malaysian Malaysia – unity in diversity in a multitracial and multicultural nation. In 2006, the party amended its constitution to adopt social democracy as its ideology, reflecting a more embracing of diverse democratic and progressive viewpoints.

As social democrats, we desire a social order whereby there can be free development of the human personality within the community; just distribution of the fruits of our labour; equality and social justice as the norms; and value and dignity placed on human work.

The basic idea of equality – including equal opportunity – is the precondition of free development of personality. It does not mean uniformity or an equality of outcome, rather it is against exploitation and the unfair advantages of those controlling economic and political power.

Social democracy is all about freedom, equality, justice, human rights and solidarity. It upholds the right to work and concern for the well-being of people of all classes, the right to a humane and clean environment, the right to comprehensive education and training of one’s choice, as well as the right to participate in administration
