KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20: Perikatan Nasional (PN) is seeking a stay of the Registrar of Societies’ (RoS) deregistration of the party, including all its consequences, pending a Kuala Lumpur High Court hearing on a related matter this Thursday.
PN secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said the coalition would also challenge the deregistration order’s validity through legal channels.
“PN urges the Attorney General to explain this action and clarify his department’s position in court during the hearing of PN’s application for a stay (of an earlier suspension notice) on Oct 22,” he told a press conference at the Parliament building here today.
Takiyuddin said RoS’ decision to deregister PN raised questions, as the High Court had previously granted leave for a judicial review application and scheduled a hearing on PN’s application for a stay of the suspension notice for Oct 22.
