KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 — Perikatan Nasional (PN) will challenge the Registrar of Societies’ (RoS) decision to cancel the coalition’s registration, including by appealing to the home minister, its secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said today.
He said the legal challenge would begin with an application during the Kuala Lumpur High Court hearing of PN’s application for a stay on Thursday.
Takiyuddin said Section 18 of the Societies Act 1966 (Act 832) allows any local society, office-bearer, member or aggrieved party to appeal against a decision by the RoS to the Home Minister.
The appeal must be filed within 30 days of the RoS decision, he said, adding that Section 8 of the same Act empowers the Home Minister to confirm, reject or amend the Registrar’s decision, with the minister’s decision being final.
