Malaysia High Court Stays Perikatan Nasional Deregistration

The High Court of Malaysia granted a stay of execution regarding the suspension and deregistration of the Perikatan Nasional political coalition. Justice Azizan Md Arshad ruled that the relief remains in effect until the disposal of a judicial review filed by the coalition to challenge the actions of the Registrar of Societies.

This legal decision allows Perikatan Nasional to resume its political activities immediately. The ruling is particularly significant as it enables the coalition to contest in the Melaka state election scheduled for November 14.

The stay prevents the Registrar of Societies from enforcing the deregistration while the court determines the legality of the suspension during the substantive hearing.
