KUALA LUMPUR: Perikatan Nasional has confirmed that it has received a notice from the Registrar of Societies (ROS) seeking an explanation of why the coalition should not be deregistered.
Sources within the coalition said the letter was sent to the Perikatan chairman and secretary-general on Tuesday.
“All the component parties were also given a copy of the letter,” said a source.
According to the letter, Perikatan has been given 30 days to state why it should not be deregistered.
It is learnt that ROS has directed component parties not to use the Perikatan logo for any activities until a decision has been made.
Earlier, the ROS confirmed receiving an official complaint from Bersatu, claiming that the party was not included in a Perikatan supreme council meeting held on July 16.
The party also raised the issue of its membership within the coalition to the ROS.
It is learnt that the ROS will issue a statement on the matter.
The Star has reached out to Perikatan secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan for comment.
