KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court's decision to stay Perikatan Nasional's suspension and deregistration has strengthened the coalition's resolve ahead of the Melaka election.

Parti Wawasan Negara (Wawasan) president Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin said the decision also offered renewed hope for PN to participate in the country's democratic process in a healthy and fair manner.

"Power is not a licence to act as one pleases. The law must not be used as a tool to suppress those with differing views.

"Today's positive decision will further strengthen PN's resolve to consolidate its position, offer the people the best policies and services, and translate these efforts into public support in the upcoming Melaka election," he said in a statement.
