PETALING JAYA: The Registrar of Societies (RoS) has confirmed that Dr Mahathir Mohamad is no longer the chairman of PPBM following his resignation amid the political turmoil in late February.
A letter sent by RoS to the party dated May 5 said Mahathir’s resignation was valid and that PPBM president Muhyiddin Yassin’s serving in the capacity of chairman was also valid.
“Following the chairman’s resignation, the PPBM president has the right to act as chairman until elections are held, according to Clause 16.9 of PPBM’s constitution,” it said.
RoS’ corporate communication unit confirmed the authenticity of the letter to FMT.
The confirmation by RoS comes in the wake of a statement by PPBM’s election committee chairman, Syed Hamid Albar, that there are “no contenders” for the chairman’s post in the upcoming party elections. It is left to be seen whether Mahathir will be returned unopposed.
Mahathir had resigned as PPBM chairman on Feb 24, just hours after submitting his resignation letter as prime minister and a day after Muhyiddin announced that the party had quit Pakatan Harapan.
However, the party’s then secretary-general, Marzuki Yahya, had said the PPBM Supreme Council rejected Mahathir’s resignation.
Mahathir’s position as chairman was disputed by information chief Radzi Jidin, who said the supreme council did not have the power under the party’s constitution to reject his resignation.

Perlembagaan benarkan Agong singkir PM, kata peguam

SHAH ALAM: Peguam kepada bekas perdana menteri Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad menyifatkan adalah salah untuk berkata Yang di-Pertuan Agong tidak mempunyai kuasa menyingkir Perdana Menteri. Malah, undang-undang tertinggi negara iaitu Perlembagaan Persekutuan dengan jelasnya menyatakan, “kuasa melantik termasuk kuasa untuk menolak,” kata Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla. “Ada pihak mempersoal kuasa Agong terhadap Perdana Menteri (Datuk Seri Najib Razak). Bagi saya, jawapannya ada dalam perlembagaan. “Perkara 40 (2) (a) menyatakan Agong boleh bertindak menurut budi bicara dalam pelantikan Perdana Menteri. Ia tidak menyentuh soal kuasa memecat Perdana Menteri. “Tetapi dalam Seksyen 29 Jadual ke-11, undang-undang bertulis menyatakan bagi individu atau pihak yang diberi kuasa membuat pelantikan ke mana-mana pejabat, kuasa yang sama hendaklah ditafsirkan sebagai termasuk kuasa untuk membuang kerja atau menggantung individu yang dilantik dan melantik orang lain buat sementara bagi menggantikan indivi...
