Negara-Ku steering committee chairperson Zaid Kamaruddin has met the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to give a statement on the activities of the people's movement called Negara-Ku, over claims that the movement was not a registered entity.  

 

Zaid ( right ), who was accompanied by Negara-Ku patron Ambiga Sreenevasan, arrived at the ROS at 10.50am yesterday and said he would leave it to the ROS to decide if Negara-Ku had breached any law.  

 

Zaid when met after his meeting with the ROS said he had informed the ROS that Negara-Ku was a movement and not a society.  

 

Asked if the name Negara-Ku had created controversy, Zaid said though the name of the movement is similar to the national anthem, Negaraku, it was not meant to confuse or create any controversy.  

 

Negara-Ku is a people's movement that is a coalition of more than 80 non government organisations (NGOs) striving for justice, equality and peace among Malaysians.  

 

Its co-founders are national laureate A Samad Said, former Bar Council chairperson Ambiga and Zaid himself.
