Speaker blasts Emergency critics, says they selectively quote Constitution to score political points

PETALING JAYA: After Deputy Speaker Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said called for Parliament to reconvene, Speaker Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun broke his silence, saying that many critics of the ongoing Emergency were selective in their defence of the Constitution to gain political mileage.

Azhar, who wrote an article on news portal MalaysiaNow, also said those who criticise the move about the concept of the division of powers appear not to comprehend the concept of division of powers, as enshrined in the Constitution.
