Perikatan Nasional to Challenge Coalition Registration Rejection

Perikatan Nasional (PN) has vowed to challenge the Registrar of Societies' (ROS) decision to reject its registration application, signalling the coalition's determination to pursue the matter through legal channels. PN President Hamzah Zainudin said the coalition would not accept the decision and plans to work with allied parties to defend its rights under the law. The move comes following the ROS's rejection of PN's registration bid, a significant setback for the opposition coalition that has sought formal status as a registered political entity. Hamzah said PN and its partner parties would explore all available legal avenues to overturn the decision and establish the coalition on a firmer institutional footing. The coalition's legal challenge is expected to intensify political tensions as the matter proceeds through the courts, with broader implications for Malaysia's opposition landscape.
