PN to challenge RoS deregistration in court
Secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan questions the timing of the move, two days before a hearing on PN’s bid to stay the suspension of its activities.
Perikatan Nasional (PN), a coalition in Malaysian politics, has announced its intention to challenge its deregistration by the Registrar of Societies (RoS) in court. PN Secretary-General Takiyuddin Hassan made this statement, urging the attorney-general to clarify the decision at a High Court hearing scheduled for October 22. The RoS deregistered PN after finding that the coalition's response to a show-cause notice did not justify retaining its registration.
Despite a High Court granting PN leave for judicial review, it did not grant an interim stay on the suspension of its activities. Takiyuddin also raised concerns about the timing of the deregistration, suggesting that it may have been politically motivated ahead of the Melaka state election scheduled for November 14.
