Nur Jazlan: NSC Bill does not override royal authority to declare emergency

JOHOR BARU: The National Security Council (NSC) Bill does not override or threaten the Yang diPertuan Agong's power to declare an emergency, says Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed (pic).

The Deputy Home Minister explained that under the Bill, which was tabled and passed in December last year, the NSC only has the power to announce any small area in Malaysia as a "security area" if deemed necessary.
