  "account": "The Registrar of Societies Malaysia (RoS) has announced that Perikatan Nasional's registration has been revoked. The coalition's explanation did not adequately address the grounds for cancellation outlined in an earlier notice. The decision was made pursuant to subparagraph 13(1)(c)(iv) of the Societies Act 1966 (Act 832), following a review of all documents and representations submitted by PN on October 12. A notice dated September 22 had been issued to PN, providing an opportunity for the coalition to submit explanations and representations regarding the issues raised. However, after thoroughly examining all documents and explanations provided, the RoS determined that the reasons given were insufficient to refute the grounds for cancellation of registration stated in the notice. These grounds were not adequately justified to uphold the organization's registration, according to the RoS.",
