Tuan Ibrahim: PN parties must stay calm, strategic amid RoS suspension

PN deputy chairman Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man has advised Perikatan Nasional component parties to stay calm and strategic while responding to the Registrar of Societies (RoS) decision to suspend their activities. The suspension, effective September 23, was triggered by a complaint from Bersatu, another PN constituent party, and follows a notice from RoS on September 22 to allow PN to respond. However, the activities were suspended before the opportunity to respond was properly considered.

Tuan Ibrahim acknowledged RoS's authority to investigate complaints and act in accordance with the law. He insisted that any decision to suspend PN must be based on clear, thorough and defensible grounds. The deputy chairman also expressed concern about the decision's timing, as it coincided with the dissolution of the Melaka State Assembly, potentially impacting party preparations for the upcoming elections, including candidate selection, campaign logistics, and voter information dissemination.

Pas deputy president, who is also Kubang Kerian MP, echoed Tuan Ibrahim's stance, emphasizing that the organization would approach the situation calmly and maturely while utilizing all legal avenues available. Pas remains confident that Malaysians are capable of evaluating PN component parties fairly, regardless of the developments, as truth and justice will prevail through the proper process.
