Malaysia's Societies Registrar Cancels PN Registration

The Registrar of Societies Malaysia (JPPM) has proceeded with cancelling the registration of Perikatan Nasional, citing the coalition's inability to address grounds for deregistration outlined in previous formal notices.

The decision marks an escalation in regulatory action against the political alliance, which has not successfully contested or remedied the issues raised by the registrar.

The move represents a significant development in Malaysia's political landscape, as Perikatan Nasional has been a key player in national politics in recent years. The deregistration removes the coalition's formal legal status as an registered organisation under Malaysian law.

Perikatan Nasional has not publicly issued a statement regarding the cancellation as of the latest reports. The coalition may pursue legal remedies to challenge the registrar's decision through available appeal mechanisms.
