PN seeks RoS clarification on logo use in Melaka polls
Its secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan says a letter was sent yesterday and that the coalition is now awaiting RoS’s response.
Perikatan Nasional (PN) is requesting clarification from the Registrar of Societies (RoS) regarding the use of logos during the upcoming Melaka state election. PN Secretary-General Takiyuddin Hassan conveyed this to Berita Harian, stating that the coalition has sent a letter to the RoS yesterday and is eagerly awaiting their response.
The RoS had suspended PN following a complaint lodged by Bersatu, which led to the suspension taking effect on September 23. The suspension aimed to safeguard the regulator's interests and prevent PN from breaching its rules. Takiyuddin further revealed that PN is also seeking details of the complaint made by Bersatu, as they are currently unaware of the specific issue.
The PN leader emphasized that any party can utilize another party's logo, providing an example where PKR's logo was used by various parties, including Bersatu and DAP, in 2018 without any issues. The RoS's decision to suspend PN prompted PN component parties to consider contesting under the PAS banner if the coalition remains suspended by the RoS.
Meanwhile, Barisan Nasional Chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi hinted at the possibility of discussing PN's use of the PAS logo in the Melaka election as part of ongoing political cooperation talks.
