Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS)

The Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) is a major political organization in Malaysia that advocates for Islamic principles and governance. Founded in 1951, it seeks to implement Islamic law (Sharia) alongside democratic processes. PAS primarily appeals to voters who prioritize Islamic values in national policies, education, and social issues. It operates within Malaysia's multi-ethnic, multi-religious context, often reinforcing conservative Islamic perspectives. While it has historically been influential in certain regions, PAS's platform emphasizes religious morality, social justice, and the promotion of Islamic culture within Malaysia's constitutional framework.
