GE13: DAP extends ROS deadline to 5pm, still may field candidates under PAS and PKR logos

PETALING JAYA: DAP has extended their deadline to the Registrar of Societies until 5pm for them to revoke the letter de-recognizing the party leadership.
But as of the moment, DAP organising secretary Anthony Loke told The Star that ROS has yet to reply to them.
"So far nothing from them yet. Let's see. We're still keeping our fingers crossed.
"We hope that they can still send a letter by 5pm since that is still working hours," he said.
However, Loke said that everything is ready for the party machinery as well as the candidates should the ROS not revoke their earlier letter.
"The instructions are there already," he said.
Party secretary-general Lim Guan Eng yesterday said that the DAP would be using the PAS logo for their candidates in the peninsula Malaysian and PKR logo for those in Sabah and Sarawak if there is still no word from the ROS.
The ROS on April 17 sent the party a letter de-recognizing the central executive committee appointed after the party elections in December last year after a miscount as well as complaints that about 700 delegates were not notified of the AGM.
DAP is in a quandary on whether to use its own symbol after the Registrar of Society did not accord recognition to its office bearers of the committee formed in party elections on Dec 15 last year.
DAP will be fielding 53 parliamentary candidates and 103 state assembly candidates nationwide.
Meanwhile, PAS headquarters in KUALA LUMPUR have made the necessary preparation to issue the appointment letters (watikah) to DAP candidates should the DAP decided not to use its symbol in the general election.
PAS vice president Datuk Husam Musa said the letters could be issued anytime before the tomorrow.
"We have prepared for it. No problem.
"The letters can be issued by today," he said here on Friday.
