PPBM sec-gen gives statement to RoS

Shahruddin Md Salleh was summoned by the Registrar of Societies following a complaint lodged by eight divisions in Johor.

PUTRAJAYA: PPBM secretary-general Shahruddin Md Salleh today gave a statement to the Registrar of Societies (RoS) following complaints that the top leadership had failed to comply with the party’s constitution.

“I gave full cooperation by submitting proof that it was based on the PPBM constitution.

“I explained why the actions and decisions were taken,” he told reporters after giving his statement at the RoS headquarters here.

Shahruddin was summoned after eight PPBM divisions in Johor lodged a complaint with the RoS that the PPBM top leadership had failed to comply with the party’s constitution.

The complaints included the failure of all PPBM branches and divisions to hold annual general meetings (AGMs) although the party was established a year ago.

On the party’s youth wing, Armada, Shahruddin said PPBM Youth chief Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman would be giving his statement to the RoS soon.

Last week, RoS director-general Surayati Ibrahim said since Armada was not in the party’s constitution, the use of the term could cause the party to be deregistered under the Societies Act 1966. -FMT
