‘Revocation done based on understanding King wanted EO revoked’


PETALING JAYA: Former Senate president Tan Sri SA Vigneswaran has weighed in on the controversy over the Emergency Ordinances, saying that the revocation was done based on the understanding that the King wanted them revoked following a decision not to extend them beyond Aug 1.

“Why did the government revoke the ordinance before the natural death on Aug 1? The most logical and possible explanation that can be deduced from the unfolded events is that the government had understood His Majesty’s order that he does not want (the EO) to continue beyond its current term, to also have an implied meaning that His Majesty desires to revoke it,” he said in a statement.
