Pakatan denies role in Perikatan suspension, blames internal strife

MELAKA — Pakatan Harapan rejected claims on Wednesday that it was behind regulatory action against rival coalition Perikatan Nasional, asserting instead that any suspension by the Registrar of Societies stemmed from the opposition bloc's organizational problems. The coalition's representatives argued that external parties should not be blamed for administrative decisions resulting from internal governance disputes within Perikatan Nasional. Pakatan leadership emphasized that regulatory bodies operate independently and make decisions based on organizational compliance and statutory requirements rather than political machinations. The statement comes amid ongoing political tensions between the two coalitions as Malaysia navigates complex parliamentary dynamics. Officials stressed that Pakatan remains focused on governance matters rather than engaging in regulatory disputes affecting rival political organizations.
