The DAP is committed to the struggle for a free, democratic socialist Malaysian Malaysia, based on the principles of human rights, equality, social and economic justice, and founded on the institutions of parliamentary democracy.
Equality is the precondition of the free development of the personality.
It does not mean uniformity and levelling out, but the opposition to exploitation and privileges of those controlling economic and political power. As a member of the Socialist International , we are one with democratic socialist or social democrats throughout the world fighting for humanity and social democracy. We are in solidarity with oppressed peoples who oppose unjust wars and production of weapons for war and who advocate peace and prosperity based on equal co-operation aided by scientific knowledge and technical advancement. Solidarity is the strongest weapon in the struggle against oppression and injustice and it embraces all the peoples of the world. All who subscribe to these fundamental values are our allies and our friends against tyranny, dictatorship, corruption, exploitation and oppression.
