No need to extend Emergency beyond Aug 1, say Malay Rulers


PETALING JAYA: The Malay Rulers have said that there is no need to extend the Emergency beyond Aug 1, says the Keeper of the Rulers' Seal Syed Danial Syed Ahmad.

He said this in a statement following the King's decree earlier that the Parliament is to reconvene as soon as possible.

This follows the special meeting of the Malay Rulers at Istana Negara earlier on Wednesday (June 16) to discuss efforts to combat Covid-19.
