Perikanan Nasional (PN) has won a High Court ruling enabling it to use its coalition logo in the Melaka state election, despite the Registrar of Societies (RoS) canceling its registration on October 20. Judge Datuk Azizan Md Arshad granted a temporary restraining order preventing further RoS action until PN's substantive judicial review is resolved.
Azizan stated that the potential harm to PN's electoral participation outweighed any prejudice to authorities. The court rejected the RoS's claim that the stay application was moot due to the registration cancellation. PN sought to suspend the Sept 23, 2026 suspension notice and prevent further RoS action on the notice until the substantive judicial review was concluded.
The stay does not automatically reinstate PN's cancelled registration or determine the lawfulness of the RoS decision, but it does acknowledge that the balance of potential harm favored PN.
