PUTRAJAYA: The notice issued by the Registrar of Societies (RoS) against Perikatan Nasional is not a decision to cancel the coalition’s registration, but to allow Perikatan to explain the complaint lodged by Bersatu.
In a statement today, RoS said the notice under subsection 13(2) of the Societies Act 1966 (Act 832) was issued on Sept 22, and Perikatan had been given a reasonable period to respond.
"The notice is intended to request Perikatan Nasional to provide an explanation regarding the complaint lodged by Bersatu with RoS, and the notice is not a decision to cancel its registration,” the statement said.
Following the notice, RoS said a suspension order had also been issued under subsection 13(2A) of Act 832, suspending all Perikatan activities with effect from Tuesday (Sept 24).
"The suspension order is intended to safeguard the interests of the organisation from continuing to violate its regulations,” the statement said.
