PN to challenge RoS deregistration, seek court stay
KUALA LUMPUR: Perikatan Nasional (PN) will challenge the Registrar of Societies’ (RoS) decision to cancel its registration and seek a stay pending the court’s decision.
Perikatan Nasional (PN) will challenge the Registrar of Societies' decision to deregister their organization, seeking a court stay before a ruling is made, according to a statement from their secretary-general, Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan. The group describes the cancellation as an abuse of power, accusing the government of fear over losing power and weakening political opponents ahead of the Melaka election.
PN contends that a confident government would defend its decision in court rather than altering a party's status while a stay application is pending. The Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC) is urged to explain the decision in the context of their position during PN's stay application hearing on October 22. PN also plans to take action against individuals who insult or undermine the judicial process.
The cancellation occurred just two days before a Kuala Lumpur High Court hearing for PN's stay application and 11 days prior to nomination day. Takiyuddin questions the timing and motives behind the decision, suggesting that the Registrar of Societies' notice was issued on the same day the Melaka State Legislative Assembly was dissolved.
