Harakah

Harakah

"Harakah" is a newspaper founded in 1987 and published by "Parti Islam SeMalaysia" (PAS). In addition to using the Malay language, the paper includes a 8-page English language pullout consisting of pages and columns written in English called the "English Section". A page in Jawi writing was introduced in 2007. Articles from "Harakah" are also available through its own website, Harakahdaily.net.

The circulation of "Harakah" broke new heights during the post-Anwar sacking by Mahathir in the late 1990s. This has caused printing permit, which for years had allowed publication twice a week, to be changed to twice a month by the Barisan Nasional-dominated government of Malaysia.

"Harakah"'s current Managing Director is Dato' Kamarudin Jaffar. Currently helmed by Ahmad Lutfi Othman who was appointed its editor-in-chief in 2006, its former editor-in-chiefs include Zulkifli Sulong and Suhaimi Taib. Its internet wing edition, Harakahdaily.net, is headed by Mohd Rashidi Hassan. One of the better known contributors to "Harakah" was M. G. G. Pillai, who coined the term "Darul Casino". He died in 2006.
