The Registrar of Societies (RoS) has ordered the suspension of all activities by Perikatan Nasional, the opposition political coalition, pending clarification on regulatory matters affecting the organisation.
According to the RoS directive, the suspension has been implemented to safeguard the interests of Perikatan Nasional and to prevent the coalition from continuing to contravene its constitutional provisions and rules.
The move comes as part of regulatory oversight of the coalition, which comprises multiple political parties operating under a registered framework. The RoS statement suggests that ongoing issues related to compliance with registration requirements prompted the action.
Peikatan Nasional, which has emerged as a significant political force in Malaysian politics in recent years, is expected to seek clarification from the RoS regarding the specific violations cited and the conditions required to resume normal operations.
The suspension marks a significant development for the coalition's political activities and its affiliated member parties, though the exact duration of the suspension has not been specified in the RoS announcement.
