The Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (Muda) will not appeal against the Registrar of Societies (ROS) rejection of its application to be registered as a formal political party.
When contacted, Muda pro-tem committee member Lim Wei Jiet said the decision was made based on alleged statements by Home Minister Hamzah Zainudin, implying the outcome of any appeal against the Jan 6 rejection. The reason (to not appeal) was because the minister has already prejudged the issue (application), so there was no point for us to exhaust that (appeal) procedure.
