Stay allows PN to continue as ‘fully functioning political party’, says Takiyuddin
The Perikatan Nasional secretary-general says Bersatu’s representatives remain welcome to attend tonight’s supreme council meeting.
Perikatan Nasional (PN) secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan has stated that the High Court's recent order staying the deregistration of the coalition does not impact its status as a "fully functioning and operating political party." The appeal filed by the Registrar of Societies (RoS) and the Home Minister against the stay of deregistration has no bearing on PN's current standing.
Takiyuddin disagreed with Azmin Ali's interpretation of the High Court's judgment, explaining that the court's order merely puts off the enforcement of the RoS's suspension order and any further deregistration proceedings until the coalition's application for judicial review is resolved. The appeal by the RoS and the home minister does not alter PN's status.
Takiyuddin also clarified that the notice of appeal filed by the RoS and the home minister does not function as a stay of execution, contradicting Azmin Ali's claim that the notice should maintain the current status quo of the RoS's decision.
