TANJUNG MALIM: The Registrar of Societies (RoS) "did not act arbitrarily" in suspending all activities of Perikatan Nasional (PN), as the decision was based on a complaint lodged by one of the coalition’s component parties.
TANJUNG MALIM: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi stated that the Registrar of Societies (RoS) was not acting arbitrarily in suspending all activities of Perikatan Nasional (PN). The decision was based on a complaint from one of the coalition's component parties. Zahid clarified that the RoS exercised its discretion according to the constitutions of the registered organisations.
He emphasized that the RoS is responsible for protecting the interests of members of these organisations and expressed concern over irregularities within PN. Zahid advised PN component parties to remain calm, especially as they gear up for the upcoming Melaka election and general election. He assured that the coalition would utilize their respective party symbols in the electoral contests, regardless of the suspension's continuation.
The RoS had suspended PN's activities following a notice demanding an explanation regarding the complaint submitted by Bersatu.
