Harakah Keadilan Rakyat (HAK) or the People's Justice Front was an informal political coalition that was formed on 14th July 1986 to provide a unified alternative to the then incumbent governing Barisan Nasional coalition, with the objective of reducing or denying it's two-thirds majority that it held since Independence.[1][2] The HAK contested in the 1986 Malaysian general election.[3] While the Democratic Action Party was initially receptive, it pulled out at the last minute before the coalition was announced.[4]

In 1990, it was superseded by Gagasan Rakyat and Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah.
