[UPDATED] PN to take disciplinary action against Bersatu

KUALA LUMPUR: Perikatan Nasional will initiate disciplinary action against Bersatu for acting against the coalition’s interests.

[UPDATED] PN to take disciplinary action against Bersatu

Perikatan Nasional (PN) plans to take disciplinary action against the Bersatu faction for actions that contradict the coalition's best interests. Takiyuddin Hassan, PN's secretary-general, revealed this decision was made at an emergency meeting of PN's top decision-makers. Bersatu will be given a chance to explain itself before any final decisions are made.

The consequences range from warnings, suspensions to expulsion, depending on the severity of the offense. If Bersatu fails to respond or enter a defense, it would be akin to admitting guilt and facing the maximum penalty. The coalition's lawyers will decide the specific charges against Bersatu. The last time the Registrar of Societies suspended and deregistered PN was due to a complaint by Bersatu, but the court has stayed the suspension pending a judicial review.
