PN’s status under question amid claims of deregistration
This follows a viral notice by the RoS, which a Bersatu source claims is true.
Recent claims have raised doubts about the status of Perikatan Nasional (PN) as a political coalition. The Registrar of Societies (RoS) is said to have deregistered PN, giving its chairman 30 days to respond. An apparent RoS notice, dated September 22, reportedly ordered the suspension of all activities under PN's name. Bersatu, one of PN's components, claims the notice is authentic and that PN leaders have been notified.
The dispute between Bersatu and PAS, which took over PN's chairmanship in February, has further complicated the situation. PAS withdrew its political cooperation with Bersatu in February and later admitted other opposition parties as PN components. PN's alliance with Barisan Nasional in the Negeri Sembilan state election was reportedly done without Bersatu's consent, leading to heavy defeats for the coalition in the polls.
Meanwhile, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang maintains that Bersatu has ceased to be a PN component following its plans to form a new coalition, a claim dismissed by Bersatu.
