KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 — Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) secretary-general Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said the cancellation of Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) registration showed that the coalition’s leadership, led by PAS, had breached the Societies Act 1966 and PN’s constitution.

In a statement posted on Facebook today, Azmin said the explanations and evidence provided by PAS during the Registrar of Societies’ (RoS) investigation were baseless and failed to meet legal and constitutional requirements.

He said the PN leadership’s decision to deny Bersatu the right to attend, express its views and vote at a PN Supreme Council meeting on July 16 amounted to a serious breach of Clause 7.1 of the coalition’s constitution.
