The coalition has received complaints from its component parties regarding Bersatu’s actions, but Samsuri did not provide further details, stating that the decisions would be based on the facts presented. Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has rejected the disciplinary action plan, claiming that his party did not break any rules. Muhyiddin also pointed out that Bersatu had reported alleged violations by PAS within PN to the Registrar of Societies (RoS), which subsequently suspended PN and deregistered it. The controversy began after PAS cut ties with Bersatu in June, leading to PN pursuing an alliance with Umno. The RoS canceled PN’s registration on October 20, but the High Court stayed the decision pending judicial review, allowing Bersatu to contest Melaka. The Court of Appeal will hear the case on February 22, 2027.",
