Karpal says would sue if RoS rejects new DAP poll results

(Bernama) – DAP chairman Karpal Singh has threaten to take the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to court if the latter fails to recognise the re-election of DAP’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) conducted last month.

Karpal Singh, who is also a Member of Parliament for Bukit Gelugor, said the party had conducted the re-election of the CEC according to the ROS’ order and they should recognise it this time.

“If they (ROS) persist to continue hounding the party after the re-election of CEC, then we will not hesitate to take ROS to court,” he told reporters here today.

The DAP conducted its re-election for CEC posts at a Special Congress of the party on September 29 in Kuala Lumpur after ordered to do so by ROS.

Karpal said the fresh elections should also be accepted by the ROS as even Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had praised DAP for holding it, which he claimed could be seen as a signal that the party had done the right thing.
