The MACC said today they will be coming out with the balance of the 408 names on the forfeiture list within the next two weeks. Meanwhile, the Registrar of Societies (RoS) has already been given that list and is compiling the list of crimes Umno may have committed. The RoS will then be suspending Umno with a show-cause letter and if Umno cannot satisfactorily respond to that show-cause then the party will be suspended two weeks after that. As a counter-measure, there are parties in Umno who are considering registering Umno 3.0 in anticipation that Umno 2.0 will be wound up

RoS scrutinises Umno documents for any breach of regulations
(Bernama): The Registrar of Societies (RoS) is scrutinising Umno documents at the state and divisional levels which were among the 41 respondents receiving money linked to 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).
RoS director-general Masyati Abang Ibrahim said this was to ascertain if there was any breach of the Societies Act 1966 and Societies Regulations 1984.
She said the move was implemented following several memorandums received by the RoS including at the headquarters here, urging for Umno to be banned for receiving money linked to 1MDB.
“RoS will study the memorandums based on the provision allocated under the powers of the RoS.
On Monday (June 24), Pakatan Harapan Youth sent a memorandum to the RoS, urging firm action against Umno which was alleged to have received money linked to 1MDB.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had filed an application to withdraw the rights of 41 individuals and entities to get back the money linked to 1MDB amounting to about RM270mil, which had been abused.
Among those named were Umno, political parties, foundations and companies.
Asked on the possibility of Umno being banned, Masyati said: “At the moment, it cannot be said that Umno will be banned. However, RoS will inform if there are things that breach the Act.”
Asked if the RoS had specified a time frame for the process of studying the documents and memorandums received, Masyati said there was no time frame set because there were aspects to be looked into from time to time.
At the HIPER Tour event, 30 cars from the Selangor Subaru Association and 20 motorcycles from the Kuala Lumpur Ducati Association were flagged off.
