BN parties never agreed to appeal to King for Parliament sitting during Emergency, say MCA and MIC presidents


PETALING JAYA: Barisan Nasional never came to a consensus to ask for an appeal to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah to order Parliament to convene as soon as possible, say the MCA and MIC presidents.

MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong and MIC president Tan Sri M. Vigneswaran said although the matter was brought up at the Barisan meeting on Wednesday (March 4), the argument was more to oppose a Parliament sitting during the state of emergency in line with what the King had decreed.
