PKR denies role in RoS decision to deregister PN
KUALA LUMPUR: Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) has denied any involvement in the Registrar of Societies' (RoS) decision to cancel Perikatan Nasional's (PN) registration.
Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) has firmly denied any involvement in the Registrar of Societies (RoS) decision to remove Perikatan Nasional (PN) from the register. PKR secretary-general Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh dismissed allegations by Parti Pejuang Tanahair (Pejuang) president Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir as defamatory. Fuziah stated that the slides featuring a purported plan by PKR to deregister PN, which Mukhriz shared on social media, were never presented in the first place.
She demanded Mukhriz retract the allegation and apologize to PKR, emphasizing that political disagreements should never be an excuse for spreading false accusations. Fuziah clarified that the complaint leading to the RoS action was related to issues concerning PN's own component parties, and PKR had no part in this matter. The RoS confirmed that it deregistered PN after determining that the coalition's explanation did not refute the grounds for deregistration presented in a previous notice.
The decision was made following the examination of all documents and explanations submitted by PN on October 12. The RoS added that PN's response also failed to provide adequate justification for retaining the coalition's registration.
