The Gagasan Sejahtera (English: Ideas of Prosperity, abbrev: GS) is an informal coalition of opposition Islamist political parties which promote the "ideas of peace" in Malaysia. The coalition was formed initially as a Third Force on 16 March 2016, consisting of Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) and Parti Ikatan Bangsa Malaysia (IKATAN)[2][3][4] and announced that it will be formally called Gagasan Sejahtera on 13 August 2016.[5][6] It is a successor to Pakatan Rakyat (the other being Pakatan Harapan). Pan-Malaysian Islamic Front (BERJASA) joined the coalition on 23 September 2016.[7]
The main campaign of the alliance focuses mainly "on PAS political matters and uniting Malay Muslims",[8][9] while upholding democracy as the best way to govern the country.[1] The formation of the alliance brought criticism from both the ruling Pakatan Harapan coalition and the opposition Barisan Nasional.[10]
