Jabatan Pendaftaran Pertubuhan(ROS) nak perkena DAP...

Hanya dua hari menjelang penamaan calon, Pendaftar Pertubuhan (ROS) dikatakan telah menghantar surat kepada DAP memaklumkan bahawa ROS tidak mengiktiraf jawatankuasa eksekutif pusat (CEC) DAP.

DAP mengadakan mesyuarat tergempar hari ini untuk berdepan dengan kesan keputusan ROS itu, dan dijangka memanggil sidang akhbar tidak lama lagi.

Pemimpin DAP, ketika dihubungi Malaysiakini, mengesahkan menerima surat daripada ROS, tetapi tidak menyatakan tentang kandungannya.

Surat tersebut yang bertarikh semalam dan dikatakan dari ROS, sedang beredar di Internet. Bagaimanapun, kesahihannya masih belum disahkan oleh DAP atau ROS.

Jika benar, ini merupakan satu tamparan terhadap persediaan DAP untuk berdepan dengan pilihan raya umum 5 Mei ini.

Sehingga kini, juga tidak jelas sama ada ini akan menjejaskan penggunaan logo DAP pada hari penamaan calon.

DAP disiasat oleh ROS berkaitan "kesilapan teknikal" yang berlaku semasa pemilihan parti Disember tahun lepas, yang mengakibatkan barisan awal CEC parti itu dirombak semula.

Parti itu mendakwa terdapat kesilapan teknikal dalam penjadualan (tabulation) undi tetapi pemimpin DAP menolak gesaan diadakan pemilihan baru walaupun terdapat bantahan dari ahli tertentu parti itu.-malaysiakini

ROS does not recognise DAP's CEC lineup...

Just two days to nomination day, the Registrar of Societies (ROS) has apparently sent a letter to DAP informing the party that it does not recognise DAP's central executive committee (CEC).

DAP is expected to converge an emergency meeting at 3pm today as it scrambles to deal with the repercussions of the ROS’ decision, and will most likely call for a press conference an hour later.

Party secretary-general Lim Guan Eng refused to comment further on the matter when asked during a press conference to announce its Selangor candidacy list at DAP headquarters in Kuala Lumpur. 

Other DAP leaders, when contacted by Malaysiakini, confirmed receiving a letter from the ROS, but did not specify as to its content.

The letter, dated yesterday and supposedly by the ROS, is being circulated on the Internet. However, its authenticity has yet to be verified by DAP or ROS.

However, attempts by Malaysiakini to contact ROS director-general Abdul Rahman Othman has so far failed, while another senior officer claimed to have no knowledge of the letter. 

If true, this could tantamount to a major blow to DAP’ preparations for the coming May 5 general election, touted to be the tightest in Malaysian political history.

As of now, it is also unclear if this would affect the party's candidates' use of the DAP logo on nomination day.

DAP had come under ROS' probe for the "technical glitch" that happened during party polls in December last year, which resulted in changes to their initial CEC lineup.

The party had claimed that a technical error occured during vote tabulation, and later refused calls for fresh polls despite protests from certain party members.-malaysiakini
