  "account": "Bersatu has accused the Perikatan Nasional (PN) leadership, which is chaired by PAS, of canceling the registration of the PN coalition. Its deputy general secretary, Mohamed Azmin Ali, claims that the decision confirms PN leadership's violation of the Companies Act 1966 and the coalition's constitution. PN's action, following PAS's denial of Bersatu's right to attend, advise, and vote in the PN High Council meeting on July 16, is a \"fatal\" mistake and a violation of Section 7.1 of the PN Constitution, according to Azmin. The move would have a significant impact and potentially destroy the future of PN, he said in a statement. Earlier today, JPPM announced the cancellation of PN registration after receiving an explanation from the coalition that it failed to provide a strong justification for retaining its registration in a previous notice. The department said the decision was made after reviewing documents and explanations submitted by PN on October 12, which found insufficient grounds to maintain its registration. PN Deputy General Secretary Takiyuddin Hassan said the coalition would challenge the cancellation order and request its postponement pending judicial review. Azmin also alleges the existence of threats and pressure to expel Bersatu through the use of the veto power by non-officials in the PN High Council. He does not name the individual in the statement. Azmin also lodged a complaint with JPPM on August 11, claiming the move aims to ensure PN operates responsibly, clearly, and with integrity, and complies with the law and its constitution. He says Bersatu provided details and evidence to JPPM on August 18, including explanations that it claims demonstrate its party's exclusion from the coalition. Azmin also criticizes PAS and its allies for their argument that the cancellation order makes them victims of politics and attempts to gain sympathy ahead of the PRN Melaka. \"Today, PAS and its allies portray themselves as victims of politics and try to gain sympathy ahead of PRN Melaka,\" he said. \"In reality, PAS has failed to manage an organization based on the principles of democracy, good governance, and often betrays allies in the struggle.\"",
