The Registrar of Societies (ROS) has confirmed that Julau MP Larry Sng is still the Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) president, based on its records.
According to a report by Berita Harian, ROS director-general Mohd Nawardi Saad said if there is a dispute about the position, it needs to be resolved at the party level.
"That is an internal matter of their party, if there is a dispute they have to resolve it themselves and this does not involve ROS," he told the Malay daily.
Last Thursday, PBM deputy president Haniza Mohamed Talha claimed Ampang MP Zuraida Kamaruddin was the legitimate president after being announced at the party’s annual general conference on Oct 7.
Sng (above) on the other hand claimed that he had never resigned or relinquished his position as the president, apart from announcing that he would contest using the PBM party symbol in the upcoming GE15.
He insisted that he is still the valid party president as per ROS records where he was elected as president at a special meeting of the general conference for the term 2021-2024 which took place in Sibu, Sarawak on Jan 8.
Sng has suspended Zuraida and 12 supreme council members.
In a statement on Friday, he said the suspensions, including that of Zuraida as an "ordinary member of PBM", were in connection to the individual's ongoing involvement in undermining the interest of the party and its leadership.
Last Thursday, Larry announced the suspension of PBM secretary-general Nor Hizwan Ahmad and information chief Zakaria Abdul Hamid from the party, with immediate effect. Both are allied to Zuraida.
Zuraida has called a press conference later this evening where she is expected to address the issue. - Mkini
