Perikatan Nasional to mount legal challenge against Registrar of Societies deregistration
The coalition's secretary-general has questioned the timing of the Registrar of Societies' move to deregister the party, which comes just days before a scheduled hearing on PN's application to lift the suspension of its activities.

Perikatan Nasional has announced its intention to challenge the Registrar of Societies' decision to deregister the coalition in court, according to Secretary-General Takiyuddin Hassan. The move by the regulatory body has drawn scrutiny over its timing, occurring merely two days before PN is scheduled to present its case at a hearing seeking to overturn the suspension of the coalition's operations. Takiyuddin's statement suggested the coalition views the deregistration decision as potentially prejudicial to its upcoming legal proceedings. The coalition has previously been placed under suspension by the Registrar of Societies, leading to the current legal challenge. PN's decision to pursue court action underscores the escalating legal tensions surrounding the party's regulatory status and operational capacity in Malaysia.
