Will PAS and Umno choose a new name for their pact?

Question

Accepted Answer

Muafakat Nasional Cannot Be Registered Under Current Name

Muafakat Nasional (MN), the pact between PAS and Umno, faces a delay in its formalisation because the chosen name has already been registered with the Registrar of Societies (RoS). While this necessitates a name change for official registration, there have been no suggestions to rename the pact, which will continue to operate under the MN designation for the time being.
Name Registration Issue Delays Formalisation

The formalisation of the Muafakat Nasional pact has been postponed due to a registration hurdle. PAS vice-president Mohd Amar Abdullah stated that the name "Muafakat Nasional" is already registered with the Registrar of Societies (RoS) by another entity. This situation prevents the pact from being officially registered under its current name, requiring a change if formalisation is to proceed.
No Current Plans for a Name Change

Despite the registration obstacle, there are currently no proposals to alter the name of the pact. Mohd Amar clarified that the coalition will continue to use "MN" as its official name. For the present, the pact will remain unregistered with RoS, indicating a temporary continuation of its informal status.
Pact's Foundation and Past Delays

Muafakat Nasional was established as a coalition based on the cooperation between Umno and PAS, focusing on matters concerning Islam and the Malay community. The intention to formalise this pact was originally scheduled for May of the current year. However, these plans were disrupted and preempted by the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.
