Perikatan’s bid to challenge ROS suspension order to be heard by High Court on Oct 13

The High Court will hear Perikatan Nasional's bid to challenge the Registrar of Societies' suspension order on October 13.

Perikatan Nasional claims the suspension prevents political activities and was issued without allowing them a fair hearing.

The coalition seeks to overturn the suspension, arguing it breaches their constitutional rights and questioning the Registrar's jurisdiction.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 6 — The High Court here yesterday set October 13 to hear Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) application for leave to commence a judicial review against the Registrar of Societies’ (RoS) suspension order on the coalition’s activities.

A check on the court system showed that the application will be heard before Judge Datuk Azizan Md Arshad at 9am.

PN and PAS secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan, along with secretaries-general of Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (Gerakan) Wong Chia Zhen and Malaysian Indian People’s Party (MIPP) N. Sathes Kumar, filed the application as the first to third applicants. The fourth and fifth applicants were the secretaries-general of Parti Wawasan Negara (Wawasan), Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah, and Parti Pejuang Tanahair (Pejuang), Datuk Sazmi Miah.

The respondents are RoS director-general Datuk Mohd Zulfikar Ahmad and Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

In a certificate of urgency filed through Messrs Siddiq Azani & Co alongside the application, the applicants said the suspension prevented them from conducting routine political activities. This included using the coalition’s name and symbol in the 16th Melaka State Election.

Takiyuddin, in a supporting affidavit obtained by the media, said the suspension order issued by the RoS on September 23 had a conclusive effect, as it prohibited the coalition from carrying out political activities.

He said the suspension prevented the PN Supreme Council and other party organs from convening meetings or making decisions, including those related to PN’s participation in the Melaka State Election. As a result, PN could not issue statements, hold public rallies, or campaign, adding that party officials also risked prosecution if they breached the order.

In the application, PN seeks an order of certiorari to quash the suspension order dated September 23 under subsection 13(2A) of the Societies Act 1966. The order suspended all PN activities except responding to a notice of intention to cancel registration.

They are also challenging a notice dated September 22, 2026, under subsection 13(2) of the same Act expressing the intention to deregister PN after 30 days.

According to the application, the notice was issued on the grounds that PN had breached Clause 7.1 of the PN Constitution by failing to invite Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), as a member party, to the PN Supreme Council meeting on July 16.

The applicants contended that the RoS lacks jurisdiction to determine whether Bersatu remains a member party of PN. They said the PN Constitution should decide this.

They also said the suspension order was made without giving PN the right to be heard. They added they were not provided with Bersatu’s complaint or the documents forming the basis of the action. — Bernama

高等法院将于10月13日审理国民联盟对社团注册局暂停令提出的上诉。

国民联盟声称，暂停其党籍的决定阻碍了政治活动，而且是在没有给予他们公平听证机会的情况下做出的。

该联盟寻求推翻暂停令，认为该暂停令侵犯了他们的宪法权利，并质疑注册官的管辖权。

吉隆坡，10 月 6 日讯——吉隆坡高等法院昨日定于 10 月 13 日审理国民联盟（PN）申请对社团注册局（RoS）暂停该联盟活动的命令提起司法审查的申请。

经法院系统查询，该申请将于上午 9 点由法官 Datuk Azizan Md Arshad 审理。

国盟和伊斯兰党秘书长拿督斯里达基尤丁哈山、马来西亚民政党秘书长黄家珍和马来西亚印度人民党（MIPP）萨蒂斯古玛作为第一至第三名申请人提出了该申请。第四名和第五名申请人分别是国家宏愿党（Wawasan）秘书长拿督斯里赛夫丁阿都拉和人民党（Pejuang）秘书长拿督萨兹米米亚。

受访者是RoS总干事Datuk Mohd Zulfikar Ahmad和内政部长Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail。

申请人通过西迪克·阿扎尼律师事务所提交了一份紧急证明，其中指出，暂停执政令使他们无法开展日常政治活动，包括在第16届马六甲州选举中使用该联盟的名称和标志。

塔基尤丁在媒体获得的一份支持性宣誓书中表示，9月23日RoS发布的暂停令具有决定性效力，因为它禁止该联盟开展政治活动。

他表示，暂停令导致国民联盟最高理事会和其他党内机构无法召开会议或做出决定，包括与国民联盟参与马六甲州选举相关的决定。因此，国民联盟无法发表声明、举行公开集会或开展竞选活动，并补充说，如果党内官员违反该命令，也将面临起诉。

在申请中，PN 请求调卷令撤销 1966 年《社团法》第 13(2A) 条规定的 9 月 23 日的暂停令。该命令暂停了 PN 的所有活动，但对注销注册意向通知作出回应除外。

他们还对 2026 年 9 月 22 日根据同一法案第 13(2) 条发出的通知提出质疑，该通知表达了在 30 天后注销 PN 的意图。

根据申请书，发出该通知的理由是，国民联盟违反了国民联盟章程第 7.1 条，没有邀请土著团结党（Bersatu）作为成员党参加 7 月 16 日的国民联盟最高理事会会议。

申请人辩称，社团注册局无权裁定土著团结党是否仍是国民联盟的成员党。他们认为，这应由国民联盟党章来决定。

他们还表示，暂停令是在未给予国民联盟申辩权的情况下作出的。他们补充说，他们没有收到土著团结党的投诉，也没有收到构成暂停令依据的文件。——马新社
