  "account": "Perikatan Nasional (PN) has initiated a judicial review at the High Court in Kuala Lumpur to challenge notices issued by the Registrar of Societies (RoS). These notices include one suspending all coalition activities for 30 days, as required by Section 13(2) of the Societies Act. PN secretary-general, Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan, filed the application alongside five other PN secretaries-general from component parties. The RoS director-general, Datuk Mohammad Zulfikar Ahmad, and Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail are named as respondents in the case. The coalition seeks a legal order, known as certiorari, to nullify the RoS notices. The first notice demanded PN to explain why its registration should not be cancelled, though it does not imply cancellation, according to the RoS. The second notice prohibits PN from conducting any activities except preparing a response to the show-cause notice. The judicial review is currently in the leave stage, awaiting a court date from the High Court's Appellate and Special Powers Division. PN is seeking the court's decision before the Melaka election.",
