No plans to extend Emergency beyond Aug 1, says Takiyuddin


PETALING JAYA: The government will not be advising the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to declare a fresh proclamation of Emergency once the present nationwide state of emergency ends on Aug 1, says Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan (pic).

The Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Parliament and Law) told Parliament during the first day of its five-day special sitting on Monday (July 26) that the Federal Government has also decided based on Article 150(3) of the Federal Constitution to revoke all Emergency Ordinances made during the nationwide state of emergency, which started on Jan 12 this year.
