Ousted BN secretary-general Annuar Musa claimed PAS proposed that the Muafakat Nasional coalition comprising the Islamist party and Umno be registered but Umno refused.

This differed from what PAS vice-president Mohd Amar Abdullah had alleged.

Amar had claimed that there was a problem in registering the coalition with the Registrar of Societies (RoS) as the name was registered by another party.
