(Facebook pic)PETALING JAYA: The wave of public support for Perikatan Nasional (PN) will not be eroded by the coalition’s deregistration earlier today, PN chairman Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar said.

Samsuri, a PAS vice-president, questioned the timing of the decision, given that PN’s application to stay the suspension of its activities had yet to be heard in court.

“What has happened is extraordinary, and possibly even unnatural,” he said in a Facebook post today.

Samsuri claimed that the action taken against PN ahead of the Melaka election was motivated by fear of the coalition.
