DAP chairperson Karpal Singh has threatened to take the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to court if the latter fails to recognise the re-election of DAP's central executive committee (CEC) conducted last month.

NONEKarpal, who is also member of parliament for Bukit Gelugor, said the party had conducted the re-election of the CEC according to the ROS' order and they should recognised it this time.

"If they (ROS) persist to continue hounding the party after the re-election of CEC, then we will not hesitate to take ROS to court," he told reporters in George Town today.

The DAP conducted its re-election for CEC posts at a Special Congress of the party on Sept 29 in Kuala Lumpur after ordered to do so by ROS.

Karpal said the fresh elections should also be accepted by the ROS as even Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had praised DAP for holding it, which he claimed could be seen as a signal that the party had done the right thing.
