PN seeks RoS clarification on logo use in Melaka polls

Perikatan Nasional (PN) is seeking clarification from the Registrar of Societies (RoS) regarding the use of logos in the upcoming Melaka state election. PN secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan revealed that a letter was sent to RoS yesterday, awaiting a response. The suspension of PN by RoS, effective September 23, followed a complaint from Bersatu.

Takiyuddin stated that they are uncertain about the complaint's nature and have requested RoS for further explanation. The PN secretary-general affirmed that PN can utilize any party's logo in the election, citing the 2018 occurrence where PKR's logo was widely used. RoS justified the suspension, aiming to protect its interests and prevent further rule breaches.

PN has suggested that component parties could contest under the PAS banner if the suspension persists. Barisan Nasional chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi proposed discussing PN's use of the PAS logo during ongoing talks.
