Paragraph text
The Registrar of Societies in Malaysia has absolute discretion to revoke the registration of societies which "in his opinion" are being used for purposes prejudicial to or "incompatible with the interest of the security of Malaysia or any part thereof, public order or morality". The law provides no recourse to the courts. The dissolution of companies may be ordered for similar reasons, but only after the issuance of a court order.
