00:01The Registrar of Societies Malaysia on Tuesday said they had cancelled the registration of
00:07Perikatan National.
00:08They said they received the opposition coalition's response on October 12, but found that the
00:14explanations and representations submitted by the coalition failed to refute the grounds
00:19for cancellation or provide sufficient justification for maintaining its registration.
00:24They said the cancellation was made under sub-paragraph 13.1c.4 of the Societies Act.
00:32They said all registered societies are responsible for complying with the provisions of the Act
00:37and their respective constitutions.
00:40They said they will continue to carry out their duties fairly in accordance with the
00:44law to ensure proper, transparent and accountable governance of registered societies.
00:50On September 23, Perikatan National confirmed that they had received a notice to explain
00:56why they should not be deregistered.
00:59They had previously been embroiled in an internal dispute following a complaint by Bersatu to
01:04the Registrar of Societies over Bersatu's position within the coalition.
01:10The complaint included allegations that Bersatu was excluded from the Perikatan National's
01:15Supreme Council meeting on July 16, as well as concerns over its membership status in the coalition.
