50 ahli Wawasan berhimpun di Mahkamah KL

50 members of the Wawasan Negara (Wawasan) party gathered at the Kuala Lumpur High Court complex prior to hearing a petition challenging the notice issued by Malaysia Societies Registration Department (JPPM), which suspended all Perikatan Nasional activities. KUALA LUMPUR: A group of Wawasan Negara (Wawasan) supporters, including some youth wing members, began gathering at the High Court as early as 8 in the morning, waiting for the scheduled proceedings to begin at 11 in the morning under the chairmanship of Haji Azizan Arshad.

Exco Pemuda Wawasan member Shafiq Abdul Halim stated that their presence aimed to show solidarity towards PN in response to JPPM's decision to revoke the registration of the combined party. Wawasan emphasized the need for clarity on the grounds and rationale behind JPPM's action of revoking PN's registration. "We are concerned if the effort to hinder PN's development, now backed by the people, is justified," Shafiq added.

Selangor Wawasan Chairman Suhaimi Mohd Ghazali accused JPPM's action of revoking PN's registration as unfair and potentially damaging the combined party's preparation for the upcoming PRN Melaka. Legal and Constitution Exco of Wawasan Youth, Siddiq Azani, hoped that the court would allow the postponement of JPPM's decision, enabling PN to compete with its own logo during PRN Melaka on November 14.

On September 23, JPPM suspended all PN activities under Section 13(2A) of the Societies Act 1966, following an application under Section 13(2) on September 22, giving PN a reasonable period to provide explanations regarding the dispute with Bersatu. PN filed a petition for judicial review in the High Court of Kuala Lumpur to challenge the notice, naming Respondents Muhammad Zulfikar Ahmad and Malaysian Internal Affairs Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

Two days ago, JPPM revoked PN's registration after finding that the combined party failed to refute the grounds for cancellation in the previous notice. The revocation means PN cannot use its logo in the upcoming PRN Melaka, though its component parties can still compete with individual symbols.
