Any hope of Perikatan Nasional (PN) component parties — PAS, Gerakan, Malaysia Indian Peoples Party (MIPP), Parti Wawasan Negara (Wawasan), Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (Pejuang) or even Bersatu — using the coalition’s logo in the upcoming Melaka state election appeared dashed after the Registrar of Societies (RoS) confirmed its deregistration today.

According to Berita Harian, RoS said the decision was made after PN failed to provide a satisfactory explanation to challenge the grounds for deregistration outlined in an earlier notice.

The department said the decision was made under subparagraph 13(1)(c)(iv) of the Societies Act 1966 (Act 832), following a review of the documents and representations submitted by PN on October 12.
