The Registrar of Societies (ROS) has rejected applications by both Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (Pejuang) and the Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (Muda) to be registered as official political parties.

The rejections were made yesterday.

In an email sighted by Malaysiakini, the ROS did not state a reason why it rejected Muda's application.

Meanwhile, the media was informed by Pejuang's lawyer Mior Nor Haidir Suhaimi that the ROS also conveyed its rejection to the party via a letter emailed to it yesterday afternoon.
