Bersatu questions legality of Oct 25 emergency PN meeting
Bersatu secretary-general Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali has questioned the legality of an emergency Perikatan Nasional supreme council meeting called by PAS. The dispute arises from the Registrar of Societies' cancellation of the coalition's registration, which is currently under judicial review.
Why it matters
The legal status of the coalition directly impacts the political landscape and the ability of member parties to participate in upcoming elections.
PETALING JAYA: PAS and its allies could face serious legal implications if they proceed with an emergency Perikatan Nasional supreme council meeting while the coalition's registration remains the subject of court proceedings, says Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali.
The Bersatu secretary-general said the party believed the status quo following the Registrar of Societies' (RoS) decision to cancel Perikatan’s registration should be maintained until all stages of the court process had been exhausted.
He pointed to Sections 41 and 42 of the Societies Act 1966, saying an organisation whose registration had been cancelled would be considered unlawful, while those managing or assisting in the management of an unlawful organisation could be committing an offence.
