Zahid defends RoS’s suspension of PN, says arbitrary
The deputy prime minister says the registrar is responsible for safeguarding the interests of members of any organisation registered under it.
BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has defended the Registrar of Societies' (RoS) decision to suspend Perikatan Nasional (PN). Zahid stated that the suspension was based on complaints received, implying that one of PN's component parties submitted a grievance. He emphasized that the RoS is responsible for protecting the interests of registered organizations under the Societies Act 1966.
Zahid hoped PN and its component parties would respond calmly to the suspension, especially with the Melaka election approaching. He added that if the suspension remains in force, PN's component parties might use their respective party symbols to contest future elections. The RoS suspended PN after issuing a notice to the coalition on Tuesday, requesting an explanation regarding a complaint lodged by Bersatu.
The suspension was intended to safeguard the organization's interests and prevent further rule breaches, not to cancel PN's registration.
