Tuan Ibrahim says PN never 'expelled' Bersatu, awaits ROS reply to party's complaints
Dispute comes amid preparations for Malacca state election.
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 1 — Perikatan Nasional (PN) is seeking clarification from the Registrar of Societies (RoS) regarding the suspension of its activities and the eight complaints lodged by Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu). PN deputy chairman Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man has formally asked the RoS to disclose the details of the complaints and explain the basis for the action.
Tuan Ibrahim stated that PN's lawyers have sent a letter to the RoS requesting a meeting with its director-general and the details of the eight complaints, according to Berita Harian. He emphasized the importance of the RoS acting fairly and investigating the allegations before imposing restrictions on PN's activities. Tuan Ibrahim also expressed concern about the difficulty PN faces in understanding the basis for the restrictions, as they were not provided with the specific details of the complaints.
He added that PN believes Bersatu should have an opportunity to respond to the matters raised, and they seek an explanation to better understand the issue and respond accordingly. Tuan Ibrahim clarified that PN has not expelled Bersatu from the coalition, as they have not been notified of the details of the complaints or invited to attend a meeting.
PN is awaiting the RoS's response to the show-cause notice issued by the regulator on September 22, which allows the coalition to explain why it should not be deregistered. Bersatu has alleged that it was excluded from a PN supreme council meeting on July 16 and questioned its membership status in the coalition.
