Wawasan questions RoS' timing in suspending PN ahead of Melaka polls

Parti Wawasan Negara (Wawasan) has raised concerns over the Registrar of Societies (RoS) decision to suspend Perikatan Nasional (PN) before the Melaka polls. Wawasan received notice of two RoS notices against PN - one dated Sept 22 and another on Sept 23. The first notice allowed PN to respond to a complaint from Bersatu while the second order suspended PN's activities.

Wawasan suspects a political motive behind these notices, timed with the assembly dissolution announcement, aimed at stopping PN from contesting the upcoming Melaka election. The party vows to work with other PN components to ensure the Melaka election preparations continue as planned. RoS clarified the notice wasn't a deregistration, and the suspension took effect Sept 23, aimed at protecting PN's interests and preventing further rule breaches. PN disagreed with RoS's reasoning and is taking legal action to defend its position.
