JPPM batal pendaftaran PN

Perikatan Nasional (PN) has suspended its registration process after the Malaysian Registration of Associations Agency (JPPM) investigated all documents and representations submitted in response to a previous notice from Bersatu, the parent party of the disallowed Perikatan Nasional (PN) party. The JPPM's decision came based on Section 13(1)(c)(iv) of the Companies Act 1966 (Act 832), which requires a thorough examination of the party's documents and representations.

The notice was issued on October 12 to PN under Section 13(2) of the Act, giving the party an opportunity to submit clarifications and representations regarding the issues raised. After investigating all documents and submissions, JPPM found the reasons provided insufficient to justify maintaining the party's registration. On September 24, JPPM updated PN's status to "suspended," allowing the party a fair opportunity to respond to the notice issued under Section 13(2) of the Act to clarify the union's complaint.

The JPPM stated that all PN activities were frozen as of September 23, in line with Section 13(2A) of the Act. On October 5, PN filed an application for a stay of proceedings in the Federal Court in Kuala Lumpur to challenge the JPPM's notice. On October 13, the Federal Court allowed PN to begin proceedings to challenge the two notices issued by JPPM.

However, Judge Azizan Arshad did not grant a temporary stay of the party's suspension by JPPM for an indefinite period.
