Muda officially a political party, gets RoS nod

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – The long wait is finally over for Muda as it was formally registered as a party by the Registrar of Societies (RoS) last Thursday.

Party president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman said Muda received an email from RoS on December 23 informing the party of the matter, before an official letter of registration was issued on Monday.

“This is great news,” the Muar MP said in a virtual press conference today.

He said Muda did not announce its official registration earlier as its members were focused on flood relief efforts across the country.

“Muda’s leaders were hard at work serving the nation. I was personally in Pahang during this period, and the internet connection was very weak, while the phone line was spotty.

“Other members were also stationed in other affected areas. At the same time, our priority is to serve the people. We don't want the flood crisis to be overshadowed by political news.”

Syed Saddiq thanked the judiciary for upholding the spirit of democracy and the federal constitution, and ensuring that Muda is given the right to be registered.

Similarly, he expressed gratitude to the federal government for not appealing the court’s decision on December 14, ordering the Home Ministry to register the party within two weeks. The ministry was ordered to pay RM10,000 in costs as well.

“We are not here to exert revenge, that is why we thank the government. Our focus is not to squabble for power, but to give our best service to ensure Malaysia becomes a developed nation.”
