PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail vows to defend the party from any action that the Registrar of Societies wants to take.SHAH ALAM: PKR has been served a notice from the Registrar of Societies (RoS) to clarify the results of its recently concluded election.
“I have been meeting with our lawyers as soon as I got the letter this morning,” PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail told the PKR Congress here.
“I feel I have to prepare for the worst-case scenario. Like what DAP faced in 2013 and MIC in 2015.
“This will be my last task (as secretary-general). Believe me, with you (delegates) as my witness, I will defend the party from any action that RoS wants to take,” he said.

He added that the RoS issued the letter after having received “several complaints” about the party’s election process.
PKR, which had received over 1,800 complaints of fraud in the voting process during the party polls in May, postponed its national congress from June to July to allow a forensic audit of the election.
PKR election committee chief Dr Zaliha Mustafa previously said the audit found that there were attempts to hack the election results, with the experts involved in the audit recommending that the party update its voting records – which it duly did.
Critics claimed that the audit ignored the complaints and objections raised by candidates regarding online voting.
In 2017, the RoS had instructed DAP to hold fresh elections for its central executive committee after claiming that the party’s polls on Sept 29, 2013, did not adhere to the law.
In 2015, RoS ordered MIC to hold fresh elections after stating that there were irregularities in their 2013 party polls.
This saw a major leadership crisis in the country’s largest Indian political party, with both its top leaders at the time – G Palanivel and Dr S Subramaniam – claiming to be the legitimate president. - FMT
