PETALING JAYA: The Federal Government or state governments that need supplementary allocations for use during the current state of emergency can get them approved by the Treasury or heads of state, including chief ministers or mentris besar, effective Wednesday (March 31), states a newly passed amendment to the Emergency Ordinance.
The new amendment, inserted as “Section 10” into the Emergency Ordinance 2021, means these allocations need not be passed by the Dewan Rakyat or state assemblies, as is usually the case.
