Penggantungan PN: Gerakan mahu komponen guna logo seragam

Presidennya Dominic Lau tepis cadangan salah sebuah parti komponen PN bertanding logo lain pada PRN Melaka.

Penggantungan PN: Gerakan mahu komponen guna logo seragam

Parti komponen Perikatan Nasional (PN) is considering using a single symbol for the PRN Melaka if the decision by the Malaysian Societies Registration Board (JPPM) goes through, according to the party's chairman Dominic Lau. The chairman also ruled out the possibility of PN supporting another PN component using a different logo, citing a media report that quoted BN secretary-general Zahid Hamidi as suggesting PAS could use a 'dancing' symbol.

It is unclear which uniform logo should be chosen, but Lau emphasized the need for a harmonious symbol. The logo selection will be decided after consultations among all PN component leaders in the near future. The symbol should be easy to accept by diverse ethnic, religious, and cultural communities and free from any legal issues with JPPM.

It should also be the national symbol, easily accepted by voters from various backgrounds, cultures, and religions, and have a high chance of winning. PN president Takiyuddin Hassan previously stated that PN could choose to use PAS's symbol in PRN Melaka if the arrangement remains in limbo with JPPM. Takiyuddin noted that his party has no objections to other parties using their logo, but specifically requested Bersatu to use its own symbol.

JPPM suspended PN's activities on September 23 following the petition by Bersatu, giving the union 30 days to submit clarifications regarding the dispute.
