‘Failure to register with RoS proves it lacks leadership’
KOTA BARU: Pakatan Harapan’s failure to register as a formal coalition with the Registry of Societies (RoS) is proof of its leaders’ inability to manage the party well, said Pas vice-president Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah.
He trained his guns on Pakatan Harapan chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and accused him of being a bad leader.
“Dr Mahathir served as prime minister for 22 years, and after serving for a long time, he is supposed to be able to solve the problem (Pakatan Harapan’s pending registration). But, he has failed to do so.
“He dreams of toppling the Barisan Nasional government and plans to change its administration. But, how can he achieve his dream if he failed to get support?
“I believe that he has failed in managing (Pakatan Harapan) and he will not make a good leader for the country,” said the Kelantan deputy menteri besar on the sidelines of the State Legislative assembly here yesterday.
He said he was informed that Pakatan Harapan could not register with RoS because only 12 of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia’s supreme council members attended its extraordinary general meeting last year.
“For Pas, (the possibility) of Pakatan Harapan not contesting in the 14th General Election is good for us because there will be no three-cornered fight. It will only be Pas facing off against Umno in the election.”
RoS director-general Surayati Ibrahim was quoted as saying last Friday that RoS did not recognise PPBM’s extraordinary general meeting held on Nov 2 last year as only 12 of its supreme council members attended it.
She said PPBM could not use the term “Armada” to refer to its youth wing as it was not in the party’s constitution.
