Bersatu leader tells PN to reflect on ROS deregistration threat

Bersatu leader Azmin Ali has turned the tables on Perikatan Nasional over the Registry of Societies (ROS) deregistration threat, suggesting the coalition should examine its own conduct rather than blame the regulator.
Azmin argued that the ROS action was a direct consequence of PN's treatment of Bersatu within the coalition framework. He accused the broader PN alliance of sidelining Bersatu and breaching the coalition's constitutional provisions, creating the circumstances that prompted regulatory intervention.
The dispute centres on governance and compliance issues within PN, with Azmin positioning Bersatu as the aggrieved party whose concerns triggered the ROS scrutiny. His comments reflect mounting tensions within the opposition coalition as it navigates internal disputes over party management and coalition obligations.
The ROS deregistration threat has become a significant flashpoint in Malaysian political dynamics, with the regulatory body citing concerns about organisational compliance. Azmin's response suggests Bersatu intends to contest the narrative that the party bears responsibility for the current predicament, instead attributing fault to PN's broader coalition management.
