In order to genuinely represent the people, Barisan Alternatif said today it will obtain public feedback to help formulate its common manifesto.

Keadilan deputy president Abdul Rahman Othman told malaysiakini that BA has agreed to hold dialogues with the public to get their views and ideas.

"We need to know the public's views. What they think a good government is...what (policies) they want us - if we were given the chance to administer the country - to implement. After all they are the ones who hold the power to choose the government," he said when contacted.
