1. We demand that the Barisan Nasional (National Front) and Pakatan Rakyat (People’s Alliance) governments tackle the World Food Crisis. Among the steps we recommend are:
   • The granting of land ownership rights to farmers
   • Governmental controls over the prices of goods
   • The passing of a Minimum Wage Act
   • The recommencement of the Green Book and usage of the organic farming system of Socialist-oriented Cuba as a model
2. The government should pass and implement a Minimum Wage Act giving a minimum wage of RM1,500 to all workers including migrants. This will in one fell swoop overcome the problem of cheap labour.
3. PSM urges the Pakatan Rakyat governments take proactive measures in its states and take the following actions to pressure the Barisan Nasional governments:
   • Implement local government elections
   • Fulfil its election manifesto regarding welfare issues such as health and education and avoid being influenced by corporate interests
   • Abolish toll
4. PSM demands that Malaysia stop the implementation of neo-liberal projects and negotiations regarding the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United States and other countries as such agreements will gamble away workers’ rights and have negative implications on the poor in the country.
5. Abolish all legislation that violates human rights such as the ISA, OSA, AUKU, EO and PPPA. Release all who are detained without trial immediately and without conditions.
6. Restore impartiality and fairness to the legal system and judiciary. The appointment of judges must be transparent. We demand that all parties involved in the manipulation of the judiciary as stated in the Royal Commission Report on the VK Lingam video tape be brought to justice.
7. We demand that PSM be registered immediately and the constitutional right of freedom of association be respected. Unions must also be given the right of automatic registration.
8. The government should stop using the Emergency Ordinance 1969 to evict and violate housing rights. Comfortable housing or land must be provided to urban pioneers, estate communities and other segments of society with low income. The government must also revamp the PPRT in order that its original purpose may be fulfilled. Local governments should also take control of all low cost flats and not give them to developers. We also urge that the housing quota given to state assemblymen and MPs be abolished.
9. Profits from national oil reserves should be nationalised and returned to citizens and used for public projects such as health services and free education. Oil revenues should be announced to the public and be used for public welfare.
10. PSM denounces all attempts by imperialist powers which endanger the stability of pro-people governments in Venezuela and Bolivia, and supports the fight of people across the globe against the threat of the capitalist system.
11. The government must put an end to the National Service Programme (NS) as it is filled with controversy and was hastily implemented.
12. The government must resume the usage of vernacular languages in the teaching of Science and Mathematics in national type schools.
13. The government must stop all steps to privatise health services and prevent the construction of private hospitals. The lives of citizens should not be commoditised.
14. The national space project should be discontinued as it is a waste of money and another form of cheap propaganda – not a serious scientific project.
15. The right to freedom of religion must be respected. The forced demolition of places of worship must be stopped.
16. The crisis of public security must be solved. The police must not be biased in any conflict between the public and developers, corporations or the government. We urge that the IPCMC be implemented immediately to solve the problem of misuse of power in the police force.
17. The mechanism of SOCSO pensions must be revamped in order that employees involved in workplace accidents be fully protected. The government should also respect the rights of the elderly.
18. The government should provide free education up till university level.
19. All quota systems based on race must be put to an end and replaced with policies based on need.
20. PSM demands that the government amend all laws that oppress migrant workers and ensure that these workers are not discriminated against or abused. The government must ensure that their welfare and safety be protected.
21. Immediate steps must be taken to solve the problems of global warming, climate change, and other natural disasters in order to save the environment and our planet.
