Bersatu tells Perikatan to stop ‘playing victim’ as coalition feud deepens

In a deepening internal crisis within Perikatan Nasional (PN), Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia has criticized PN's leadership for allegedly attempting to "play the victim" instead of addressing allegations with concrete evidence.

Bersatu information chief Datuk Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz urged PN to respond to complaints with facts and documents, specifically challenging PN Secretary-General Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan.

The Registrar of Societies' (RoS) intervention, following complaints from Bersatu, led to a suspension of PN's activities, prompting judicial review proceedings.

This dispute highlights escalating tensions between PAS and Bersatu, the main parties in PN, amidst accusations over coalition management and constitutional compliance.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 6 — Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia has accused Perikatan Nasional (PN) of trying to “play the victim” in the coalition’s deepening internal crisis, saying its leadership should answer allegations against it with facts and documents rather than portray itself as being unfairly targeted.

Bersatu information chief Datuk Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz said PN should not push narratives unsupported by evidence or suggest that others were acting cowardly or oppressing the coalition without justification.

“PN secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan needs to answer whether it is true that Bersatu lodged complaints over the management of the coalition,” he said in a statement last night.

“There is no need to spin the issue. Just rebut, one by one, the complaints raised by Bersatu, as conveyed by the Registrar of Societies to Takiyuddin, with evidence.”

Tun Faisal said that if PAS, which administers PN, had not breached the coalition’s constitution, its leaders should produce the relevant meeting minutes, correspondence and other documents.

“If PAS, as the administrator of PN, did not commit any breach of the PN constitution, then simply provide the explanations, meeting minutes, correspondence and relevant documents to rebut each allegation,” he said.

“If he has them, answer the RoS without making so many excuses. That would be courageous.”

The remarks were aimed at Takiyuddin, who had described Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as cowardly for allegedly failing to raise the party’s grievances clearly and officially with PN.

Takiyuddin, who is also PAS secretary-general, had likened the move to “throwing a stone and hiding the hand”, while saying PN had sought a judicial review of action taken against the coalition by the Registrar of Societies.

Tun Faisal rejected the criticism and turned the accusation back on PN’s leadership, saying cowardice was a more fitting description for administrators who, in his view, had failed to convene meetings and face disputes with component parties openly.

“Do not talk about courage if chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar and PN’s administrators do not dare face their own component party. This is the real cowardice,” he said.

He also accused PAS of repeatedly breaching PN’s constitution, disregarding decisions of the coalition’s supreme council and denying Bersatu its rights as a member.

The latest exchange comes amid a wider dispute that has drawn intervention from the Registrar of Societies.

On September 22, the RoS issued PN with a notice seeking an explanation over complaints reportedly lodged by Bersatu. The following day, the regulator suspended all of PN’s activities under subsection 13(2A) of the Societies Act 1966.

The action has since become the subject of a court challenge, with PN seeking judicial review of the RoS notices.

The row has also exposed increasingly bitter tensions between PAS and Bersatu, the two main parties in PN, with both sides trading accusations over how the coalition has been managed and whether decisions taken by its leadership complied with its own constitution.

在国民联盟（PN）内部危机日益加深之际，土著团结党批评国民联盟领导层试图“扮演受害者”，而不是用确凿的证据来回应指控。

土团党新闻总监拿督敦费萨尔依斯迈阿齐兹敦促国盟以事实和文件回应投诉，特别挑战国盟秘书长拿督斯里达基尤丁哈山。

在土著团结党投诉后，社团注册局 (RoS) 介入，导致国民联盟 (PN) 的活动被暂停，引发了司法审查程序。

这场争端凸显了国民联盟主要政党伊斯兰党和土著团结党之间日益紧张的关系，双方互相指责对方在联盟管理和遵守宪法方面存在问题。

吉隆坡，10月6日讯——土著团结党指责国民联盟（PN）在日益加深的内部危机中试图“扮演受害者”，并表示国民联盟领导层应该用事实和文件回应针对他们的指控，而不是把自己描绘成不公平的攻击目标。

土著团结党新闻主任拿督敦费萨尔·伊斯梅尔·阿齐兹表示，国民联盟不应该散布没有证据支持的言论，也不应该毫无理由地暗示其他人的行为懦弱或压迫该联盟。

“国民联盟秘书长拿督斯里达基尤丁·哈桑需要回答土著团结党是否真的就该联盟的管理提出过投诉，”他昨晚在一份声明中说。

“无需粉饰太平。只需逐一反驳土著团结党提出的、社团注册官转达给塔基尤丁的投诉，并拿出证据即可。”

敦费萨尔表示，如果执掌国民联盟的伊斯兰党没有违反联盟章程，其领导人就应该出示相关的会议记录、信函和其他文件。

他说：“如果伊斯兰党作为国民联盟的管理者，没有违反国民联盟的章程，那么只需提供解释、会议记录、信函和相关文件来反驳每一项指控即可。”

“如果他掌握了这些信息，就应该坦诚回答RoS的问题，不要找那么多借口。那样做才算勇敢。”

这些言论针对的是塔基尤丁，他曾形容土著团结党主席丹斯里慕尤丁·亚辛懦弱，因为他据称没有向国民联盟明确、正式地提出该党的诉求。

同时也是伊斯兰党秘书长的塔基尤丁将此举比作“扔石头藏手”，并表示国民联盟已就社团注册局对该联盟采取的行动寻求司法审查。

敦费萨尔驳斥了这些批评，并将指责反过来指向国民联盟的领导层，称懦弱更适合用来形容那些在他看来未能召开会议、未能公开面对与各成员党之间争端的管理者。

“如果主席拿督斯里阿末沙苏里·莫克塔尔博士和国盟的行政人员都不敢面对自己的成员党，就不要谈什么勇气。这才是真正的懦弱，”他说。

他还指责伊斯兰党屡次违反国民联盟的章程，无视联盟最高理事会的决定，并剥夺土著团结党作为成员的权利。

此次最新交锋正值一场更广泛的争端之中，这场争端已经引起了社团注册官的介入。

9月22日，社团监管局（RoS）向PN发出通知，要求其就土著团结党（Bersatu）据称提出的投诉作出解释。次日，该监管机构依据1966年《社团法》第13(2A)条暂停了PN的所有活动。

此后，该行为成为法庭挑战的对象，PN 寻求对 RoS 通知进行司法审查。

这场争端也暴露了国民联盟两大主要政党伊斯兰党和土著团结党之间日益激烈的紧张关系，双方就联盟的管理方式以及领导层做出的决定是否符合其自身章程互相指责。
