Following the Registrar of Societies's refusal to retract its letter to DAP effectively declaring the party's elected leadership null and void, a decision was made today to have its candidates nationwide stand under PAS and PKR logo in West and East Malaysia respectively.
The decision by ROS was made 48 hours before nomination day tomorrow, but analysts said it could well be the most effective glue to close remaining gaps between component parties in Pakatan Rakyat.
"We will do as what has been decided and contest under the PAS logo in the peninsula and under PKR in Sabah and Sarawak," said DAP chairman Karpal Singh.
Fearing that by going ahead to use the DAP logo could land itself in trouble later, DAP yesterday said ROS should retract the letter by 5.00 pm today. Secretary general Lim Guan Eng remained sceptical that the EC and ROS were sincere in telling DAP to go ahead and nominate its candidate.
“If my position (as secretary general) is not recognised (by ROS), how can I issue the letter?” asked Lim.
Both PAS and PKR have agreed to allow DAP to contest under their logos.
DAP however would still attempt to use its logo and told its candidates to be prepared with two letters of authority tomorrow, one of which carries PKR and PAS approval.
Lim said this would act as a final test of EC's assurance.
“All candidates will hand in the DAP’s letter of authority first, if it is rejected then we hand in the 'moon' one,” said Lim.
Meanwhile, the ROS decision sparked a flurry of comments by netizens, with many questioning why it informed DAP that it did not recognise the leadership line-up while at the same time EC chairman Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof casually said that DAP could still use its 'rocket' logo.
“How could the EC accept the candidates’ letters of authorisation issued by DAP’s suspended CEC? Is it a plot to lure DAP candidates to go for nomination under DAP banner only to disqualify them on technicality later?” asked a commentator.
The ROS inquiry followed complaints last December that initial vote counting had resulted in some candidates not elected into DAP's central executive committee. A recount however saw Zairil Khir Johari elected to the CEC with 803 votes compared to 305 in the erroneous results. -HD

ReplyDeletePendaftaran DAP tidak terbatal dan parti itu masih boleh menggunakan simbolnya pada pilihan raya umum ke-13 (PRU13), kata Pendaftar Pertubuhan Datuk Abdul Rahman Othman.
ReplyDeleteDalam satu kenyataan hari ini, beliau menarik perhatian Jabatan Pendaftaran Pertubuhan (ROS) memaklumkan kepada DAP semalam bahawa ia sedang mengkaji pendaftaran parti itu berikutan pertikaian di kalangan anggotanya.
Sementara menanti penyelesaian pertikaian berkenaan, kenyataan itu menyebut Pendaftar Pertubuhan tidak memberi pengiktirafan kepada pemegang-pemegang jawatan DAP yang dibentuk semasa pemilihan parti itu pada 15 Dis 2012, mengikut Seksyen 3A Akta Pertubuhan 1966.
ReplyDelete“Bagaimanapun, pendaftaran DAP tidak terbatal dan ia masih boleh menggunakan simbolnya semasa PRU13,” kata Abdul Rahman.
Beliau turut berkata siasatan berhubung pemilihan parti itu akan diteruskan.
ReplyDeleteKemelut yang berlaku dalam DAP itu timbul selepas ramai anggotanya dilapor mempersoal ketelusan dalam pemilihan Jawatankuasa Tertinggi Pusat (CEC) DAP berikutan wujud perubahan mendadak dalam keputusan pemilihan kononnya disebabkan kesilapan pengiraan, selain dakwaan kenapa lebih 700 perwakilan dinafikan hak mengundi.
Dalam satu sidang akhbar di sini, Setiausaha Agung DAP Lim Guan Eng mendakwa telah menerima surat ROS bertarikh 17 April, menyatakan ROS tidak memberi pengiktirafan kepada pemegang-pemegang jawatan CEC parti DAP.
ReplyDeleteBerdasarkan keputusan ROS itu, parti tidak berkuasa mengeluarkan surat watikah pelantikan kepada mana-mana calon parti menggunakan simbol parti iaitu roket pada PRU13, katanya.
Sehubungan itu, Lim berkata DAP bercadang menggunakan simbol PAS di Semenanjung dan simbol Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) di Sabah dan Sarawak pada PRU13.
ReplyDeleteLim sebelum itu mengadakan mesyuarat bersama Setiausaha Agung PAS Mustafa Ali dan Setiausaha Agung PKR Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, yang menurut pemimpin DAP itu mendapat persetujuan pemimpin parti masing-masing berhubung penggunaan simbol PAS dan PKR.
Isu ini sudah berakhir. Kami menumpu perhatian ke atas isu yang lebih penting.
ReplyDeleteAs long as they are follow the rules. Everything should be ok.
ReplyDeleteROS harus bertindak adil kepada semua parti.
ReplyDeletePAS and PKR have agreed to allow DAP to contest under their logos.
ReplyDeleteLagi satu padu lepas ke sini berlaku.
Isu pendaftaran DAP sudah selesai. Yang penting, kami menantikan keputusan PRU nanti.
ReplyDeleteImpian hingga ke bulan tapi apa yang dijanjikan masih belum ditunai.agak2lah jika berjanji apa lagi bila pilihan raya hampir tiba.
ReplyDeleteKalau mereka bersatu, tidaklah wujud pembahagian kerusi.lepas penamaan calon pun masih lagi bising2.
ReplyDeleteIsu 'siapa yan g akan jadi PM',pengunaan kalimah Allah, isu hudud semua dengan pendirian masing2.macam mana bersatu?
ReplyDeleteTerima hakikat, PRU kali ni memang sengit.hanya beberapa kawasan saja yang wujud pertandingan satu lawan satu.
ReplyDeletePasal PR ni, sudah diluluskan sebagai satu pakatan?sekarang isu logo lagi pula yang timbul.
