Plea for a Royal decree


PUTRAJAYA: Nearly 200 NGOs are pleading for the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to issue a decree for political leaders to prioritise the lives of the people as the country battles the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a memorandum, the 175 organisations – including Gerakan Pembela Ummah (Ummah) – called on the King to intervene and stop the conflict among political leaders and order them to think of the people instead.
