While PN has obtained a stay of its deregistration by the Registrar of Societies (RoS), Bersatu secretary-general Azmin Ali said, the High Court held that a stay does not amount to an automatic restoration of the coalition’s status.
Azmin also pointed out that the RoS and home minister have appealed against the stay.
“Bersatu believes that since a notice of appeal has been filed, all parties should preserve the status quo of the RoS’s decision until all levels of proceedings have been exhausted.
“If PAS and its allies proceed with the PN supreme council meeting, Bersatu fears it would have serious legal implications.
“Bersatu will discuss this matter with our lawyers to ensure compliance with the PN constitution and Societies Act,” he said in a statement.
The PN supreme council will meet at PAS’s headquarters in Kuala Lumpur tonight to discuss the Nov 14 Melaka election, among others.
PN was suspended by the RoS in late September before being deregistered last Tuesday, following a complaint filed by Bersatu against the coalition’s leadership.
The High Court stayed PN’s deregistration two days later.
Bersatu demands PN state stand on quorum issue
Azmin also demanded that the PN leadership state their position on the issue of Bersatu’s own supreme council meeting failing to meet the required quorum.
He said the PN leadership had used this as an excuse to deny Bersatu the right to attend the last PN supreme council meeting in July.
“Bersatu is monitoring developments and will refer to our team of lawyers before taking a stand,” he said. - FMT
