KUALA LUMPUR: Perikatan Nasional (PN) will challenge the Registrar of Societies' (RoS) decision to cancel its registration and seek a stay pending the court's decision.
Describing the move as an abuse of power, its secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan accused the government of acting out of fear of losing power and attempting to weaken its political opponents ahead of the Melaka election.
"PN condemns this action as an attempt to pre-empt the court's consideration and weaken political opponents ahead of the Melaka election.
"A government confident in the legality of its actions should be prepared to defend its decision before a judge, rather than changing the status of the parties when an application for a stay is about to be heard," he said in a statement.
