The Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (Muda) has urged the home minister to decide soon on its appeal to be registered as an official political party.

A month has passed since Muda had submitted its appeal to the minister after following its unsuccessful legal challenge against the Registrar of Societies' (ROS) refusal to register the group.

Muda co-founder Lim Wei Jiet told Malaysiakini today that there is an urgent need for the minister to respond to the group's appeal due to signs of an impending general election.
