Emergency not successful in bringing down Covid-19 figures, protecting national economy, says Najib

PETALING JAYA: The Emergency Proclamation that lasted nearly eight months last year was not successful in bringing down Covid-19 figures and protecting the national economy, says former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

This eventually led to intervention by the Malay Rulers, he said in refuting remarks made by Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on Sunday (Jan 16).
