Dr M: Harapan to announce common logo tomorrow

Pakatan Harapan is set to unveil its common logo during a mega-ceramah at Pasir Gudang, Johor tomorrow.

Harapan chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the final decision on which of the four component party's logo will be used was made during a presidential council meeting this morning.

"As I have said before, we will use one logo. But we didn't say which logo.

"At this moment we have already decided but we will announce it tomorrow in Pasir Gudang," said Mahathir (below) during a press conference after the meeting held at the Perdana Leadership Foundation in Putrajaya.

He also said today's meeting was called as Parliament was expected to be dissolved anytime soon.

"Of course, the government wants to catch us unawares so they can do their tricks.

"But we have been working to address the issues including possible de-registration of Bersatu," he said.

DAP organising secretary Anthony Loke previously told Malaysiakini that DAP would either contest under its own logo or Harapan's.

However, Guan Eng announced today that DAP will not be using its iconic 'rocket' logo in Peninsular Malaysia. 

Bersatu and Amanah have earlier agreed to contest under the PKR logo in the forthcoming national polls which must be called by Aug 24. It is very likely that the PKR logo will also be used by DAP and Bersatu.

The issue of the common logo was raised as Bersatu has to date not been able to obtain registration approval from the Registrar of Societies (ROS).

Harapan's application to be registered as a formal coalition was also rejected by the ROS on the grounds of Bersatu's uncertain status.
