KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 21 — PAS will join aligned Perikatan Nasional (PN) component parties in challenging a notice to cancel the coalition’s registration in court and preparing for the Melaka state election.
In a statement posted on Facebook today, PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang said the party condemned the move, which was communicated through a notice from the Registrar of Societies Malaysia (ROS) dated October 20.
PAS said the decision appeared to pre-empt a court ruling and restrict democratic rights guaranteed under the Federal Constitution.
The party also claimed the move reflected growing fear on the government’s part.
