King's power to proclaim Emergency cannot be reviewed by the court, judge rules


KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here today ruled that the power of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong in proclaiming the Emergency under Article 150 of the Federal Constitution is not justiciable by the court.

Article 150(1) of the Constitution grants the Yang di-Pertuan Agong the power to issue a Proclamation of Emergency if His Majesty "is satisfied that a grave emergency exists whereby the security, or the economic life, or public order in the Federation or any part thereof is threatened”.
