PETALING JAYA: The Umno Supreme Council can only carry out the party’s administrative work and function in a caretaker capacity until the party elections are held, says the Registrar of Societies (RoS).

RoS director-general Jasri Kasim said policy decisions must be brought to the general assembly first before implementation because of this caretaker status.

According to Utusan Malaysia, Jasri said RoS had received a letter of explanation from Umno regarding the decision to postpone the party elections for 18 months, which was previously considered as invalid as the postponement decision was made after the expiry of the term of the incumbent Supreme Council for the 2018-2021 term on June 30.

He said RoS will examine and review the explanation letter first because the party had submitted new information. While the content of the letter could not be revealed, he said, RoS would look into it one by one.
