Takiyuddin Hassan, who holds the position of secretary-general at PAS, confirmed that he was summoned for questioning by the Registrar of Societies (RoS) in connection with Bersatu's formal complaint regarding the matter.
The Perikatan Nasional member had alleged that it was sidelined during discussions among coalition partners over seat allocations and election strategy, prompting the party to lodge an official complaint with the RoS.
The questioning of Takiyuddin represents the first formal regulatory scrutiny into the internal coalition dispute, which has highlighted tensions within the opposition alliance ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
Details regarding the specific nature of RoS's inquiry and the timeline for any formal determination remain unclear. The development underscores ongoing friction within Perikatan Nasional as member parties navigate the complexities of maintaining coalition unity while securing advantageous positions for their respective electoral contests.
