The Registrar of Societies (RoS) has placed a suspension on all activities of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition, effective September 23, following a notice issued on September 22. The notice was prompted by a complaint lodged by Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu). The suspension was issued under subsection 13(2A) of the Societies Act 1966 (Act 832), and was intended to give PN a reasonable period to respond to the complaint, rather than cancelling its registration.
The notice requested an explanation from PN regarding the allegations raised by Bersatu, but did not result in the cancellation of PN's registration. The RoS has urged all parties to rely on official information from the department and avoid speculation or the spread of unverified information. PN had received the RoS notice on September 22, with 30 days provided for them to explain why their registration should not be cancelled.
Several PN component parties were instructed not to use the coalition's name or logo in any activities until RoS makes a final decision.
