KUALA LUMPUR, April 18 — The DAP has not been deregistered and can still use its symbol for the 13th general election (G13), the Registrar of Societies (ROS), Datuk Abdul Rahman Othman, said today.
He said in a statement here that the ROS’ office informed the DAP yesterday that it was studying the party’s registration following a dispute among its members.
Pending the resolution of the dispute, the ROS, as provided for under Section 3A of the Societies Act 1966, did not accord recognition to the office-bearers of the committee formed in the party elections on Dec 15 last year, he said.
“However,the DAP had not been deregistered and it can still use its symbol during the GE13,” Abdul Rahman said.
