PN top leaders want to meet RoS over suspension

PN secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan acknowledges the possibility of deregistration if its explanation does not satisfy the RoS.

PN top leaders want to meet RoS over suspension

Perikatan Nasional's top leaders are requesting a meeting with the Registrar of Societies (RoS) director-general, following the coalition's suspension, according to PN Secretary-General Takiyuddin Hassan. Hassan revealed that the coalition is in the final stages of preparing an official explanation to address a complaint filed by Bersatu, with the response due in two weeks' time.

Yesterday, PN leadership sent a letter to the RoS asking for a special meeting to clarify the situation, according to Hassan, as reported by Berita Harian. Takiyuddin noted that the coalition is uncertain about what will occur next, admitting the possibility of being deregistered if the RoS deems their explanation unsatisfactory.

The PN secretary-general also questioned the timing of the suspension, which occurred on the same day the Melaka assembly was dissolved to accommodate a state election. The RoS suspended PN on Wednesday, following a show cause notice issued one day prior in response to a complaint filed by Bersatu. The regulator stated that the suspension aimed to protect the organization's interests and did not equate to deregistration. Takiyuddin suggested that political pressure might be the reason behind the suspension.
