Setting up Mageran like in 1969 will not be suitable, says PM's aide


PETALING JAYA: Setting up the National Operations Council (Mageran) would not be the appropriate move at this time, says the Prime Minister’s principal private secretary.

In a video posted on his Facebook, Datuk Dr Marzuki Mohamad said this in response to calls by certain people to set up the body, which was in place during the last emergency in 1969.
