You have no power to issue show-cause letter to Bersatu, Takiyuddin told
Marzuki Mohamad, a former aide to Muhyiddin Yassin, says the PN secretary-general must first clarify with RoS over the claim that party’s Supreme Council does not have the required quorum to hold meetings.
Former Bersatu aide Marzuki Mohamad has criticized PN secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan for issuing a show-cause letter to the party without seeking clarification from the Registrar of Societies first. In a Facebook post, Marzuki stated that Takiyuddin should have first confirmed the matter with the RoS regarding Bersatu's Supreme Council quorum requirements.
He emphasized that Bersatu remains legally recognized as a member of PN and a legitimate participant in the coalition's Supreme Council meeting on July 16, where PN allocated seats for the Negeri Sembilan state election. Marzuki also cited PN chairman Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar's statement from August 9, which endorsed Bersatu's status as a legitimate PN member.
Therefore, he argued, Bersatu should have been invited to the July 16 meeting, and its exclusion was a significant violation of the coalition's constitution. Furthermore, Marzuki noted that Bersatu's Supreme Council had the authority under Clause 27 of its constitution to determine what constituted a quorum, and its interpretation was final.
He maintained that any disputes over Bersatu's legal status or constitution interpretation should be resolved by the RoS, not PN. PN Secretary-General Takiyuddin Hassan later announced that PN would no longer invite Bersatu to coalition meetings following allegations that the party has only 23 members in its Supreme Council, falling below the required 25-member quorum.
