Perikatan Nasional (PN) received a notice from the Registrar of Societies (RoS) on Monday requiring the opposition coalition to explain within 30 days why it should not be dissolved, a source confirmed to Berita Harian on Tuesday.

Market Impact

The notice was conveyed to the PN chairman, secretary-general and all component parties on Monday, the source said, adding that the secretary-general would also issue a statement on the matter. Component parties were directed not to use the PN logo in any activities until the registrar makes a final decision, according to information understood to be in the notice.

The RoS did not immediately respond to requests for comment, though an official statement from the agency is expected.

The move follows a formal complaint lodged by Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (BERSATU) with the RoS on Aug. 11. The complaint cited the party's exclusion from a PN Supreme Council meeting on July 16 and questions over its membership status in the coalition. BERSATU president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on Saturday urged the registrar to decide swiftly on the complaint, which alleges eight violations by the PN leadership.

The registrar's notice escalates a dispute that has simmered since BERSATU, a founding component of the coalition, accused the PN leadership of breaching the coalition's agreement and constitution. The 30-day deadline sets a timetable for a regulatory decision that could reshape Malaysia's opposition landscape ahead of the next general election.

The RoS has not disclosed the specific grounds for the show-cause notice or the eight alleged violations cited by BERSATU. The coalition's component parties include the Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) and several smaller parties.
