The Registrar of Societies (ROS) has said that the application of Gerakan Tanah Air (GTA) for registration is still being processed by the department.
“It has not been approved nor rejected yet,” ROS director-general Mohd Nawardi Saad told Bernama today.
GTA pro tem chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad was reported as saying yesterday that GTA would be using the Pejuang logo in the 15th general election (GE15) because the government did not approve GTA’s registration.
GTA, which was established on Aug 4, submitted its application to the ROS on Aug 18.
GTA comprises Pejuang, Parti Perikatan India Muslim Nasional (Iman), Parti Barisan Jemaah Islamiah Se-Malaysia (Berjasa) and Parti Bumiputera Perkasa Malaysia (Putra).
Nawardi said the draft constitution of GTA needed to be amended to bring it in line with existing laws.
“We will have no objection to approving it if the proposed constitution meets the set policies,” he added.
According to Nawardi, GTA representatives met his officers today to discuss its registration.
GTA was reported to be planning to contest about 120 parliamentary seats in GE15.
Nomination day for GE15 is Nov 5 and polling is on Nov 19.
