The Registrar of Societies (ROS) has confirmed that Perikatan Nasional (PN) is a registered party, as its application was approved on Aug 7.
This came after PKR Youth vice-chief Syed Badli Shah Syed Osman claimed that there was no record of PN's registration in the ROS database as of Sept 14.
ROS labelled Syed Badli's media statement as "false and baseless."
"ROS would like to stress that the PN party has been registered through the issuance of the certificate PPM-019-14-07082020 which was approved and signed by the societies registrar.
"The PN party was approved and in effect on Aug 7, under the political category in line with the Societies Act 1966.
"The ROS would once again like to stress that the statement saying that there's no record of PN's registration is baseless," it said in a statement today.
ROS said the certificate, party logo, and party constitution was signed and presented to PN as soon as the application was approved.
It further explained that the ROS system is updated every two months with the latest information on party approvals.
Hence, the record pertaining PN will only be reflected on the website in early October as the application was approved in August, ROS added.
However, it said the record is already available in the eRoses system which can only be accessed by the party secretary.
Meanwhile, PN secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin has labelled certain quarters who questioned the status of the coalition as "desperate" and said that they have run out of issues to raise in facing the Sabah state election campaign.
"These quarters are actually worried and threatened with PN which has been recently well-received by the people," he said in a statement.
Hamzah added that PN will continue to strengthen its machinery to ensure the victory of all its candidates.
"PN is also confident that fake issues weaved with slander and ill-intention will not influence the voters from choosing PN which cares for the people," he said.
PN debuted its logo carrying the words "Perikatan Nasional" in white against a dark blue background for the Sabah state election.
Campaigning began last Saturday. PN is allied with BN and PBS, which have fielded 41 and 22 candidates respectively for the Sept 26 polls.
However, they will be clashing in 17 out of the 73 seats.
Their goal is to unseat the incumbent Warisan Plus government comprising Warisan, Pakatan Harapan and Upko.
