Volkspartei der Gerechtigkeit

• The Malaysian People’s Justice Party, known in Malay as Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), is a centrist political party in Malaysia that has played a significant role in the country's political landscape since its inception. Founded in 1999 by a group led by Dr. Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, amidst the reformasi movement that followed the sacking of then Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, PKR emerged from a deep desire for reform in governance, justice, and the eradication of corruption. The party's formation was a direct response to the perceived authoritarianism and cronyism within the Malaysian government, particularly under the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO)-led coalition that had dominated Malaysian politics for decades.
  
  PKR positions itself as a party that champions the rights and welfare of all Malaysians, irrespective of racial, religious, or ethnic backgrounds. This inclusive approach sets it apart in a political landscape often divided along communal lines. The party advocates for social justice, economic equity, and a fair distribution of national wealth. It emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability in governance, aiming to dismantle the deeply entrenched system of patronage and corruption.
  
  The party also strongly supports the reform of institutions to ensure greater independence and impartiality, particularly in the judiciary and the police force, to uphold the rule of law and human rights. Education, healthcare, and economic policies that favor the marginalized and the poor are also central to PKR's platform, reflecting its commitment to reducing inequality and improving the standard of living for all Malaysians.
  
  Over the years, PKR has been a key player in Malaysian opposition coalitions, notably the Pakatan Harapan (Alliance of Hope), which successfully ended UMNO's 61-year rule in the historic 2018 general elections. This victory was seen as a mandate from the Malaysian people for the sweeping reforms PKR and its allies had long championed. However, the coalition's tenure in government was marked by challenges and internal disputes, leading to its collapse in 2020. Despite these setbacks, PKR continues to be an influential force in Malaysian politics, advocating for change and representing the aspirations of a significant portion of the Malaysian populace for a more equitable, transparent, and just society.
