Founding PN himself, Muhyiddin expressed sadness at the coalition's deregistration but stressed the importance of adhering to the coalition's constitution and the Societies Act 1966. He cautioned against the misuse of power within a coalition, warning that such actions could steer the group away from its original purpose. Muhyiddin indicated he would consult with Bersatu leadership on the next steps following the decision during a special Political Bureau meeting tonight. The Registrar of Societies had recently announced PN's deregistration, citing the coalition's inability to counter the deregistration grounds set forth in a previous notice.",
