THE Registrar of Societies (RoS) today confirmed that the registration of Pakatan Harapan still cannot be processed.

RoS director-general Surayati Ibrahim said Bersatu, one of the component parties in the opposition coalition, has yet to respond and provide all the information and documents required in the notice  RoS issued to the party under Section 14(2) of the Societies Act 1966.

“With this, the Registrar of Societies (RoS) can confirm that the registration of Pakatan Harapan cannot be processed,” she said in a statement today.

On March 9, RoS was reported to have issued Bersatu a notice under Section 14(2) of the Societies Act 1996,  which requires it to respond and submit information and documents to the department.

Notice 14(2) refers to the instruction from the RoS to submit minutes of division, branch and central meetings as well as the party’s financial statements.

Pakatan Harapan submitted an application for registration with RoS in July last year. – Bernama, March 23, 2018.

  • ROS is correct to ask for all particulars under the law but it also appears that it may have delayed unduly without excuse to expedite the application, having "sat" on it for some time and knowing the importance of speed. Under the circumstances could ROS allow for a "provisional" approval, on the basis that the required info will be forthcoming? Just talking..
