Law during Emergency provides for Sarawak govt to function after term expires, says deputy CM


KUCHING: Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah's advice to the Sarawak government to continue functioning after the state legislative assembly's term expires on June 6 is based on the nation's laws during an Emergency, says Tan Sri James Masing.

The Deputy Chief Minister said the practice of democracy would have to wait until the Emergency was lifted.
