Constitutional law expert Abdul Aziz Bari argued today that the legal challenges to the government’s emergency proclamation should not be seen as being treacherous towards the Malay rulers.
Previously, PKR president Anwar Ibrahim said he would press ahead with legal challenges to the government’s emergency proclamation following his plea to all lawmakers to write to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah for the declaration to be rescinded.
The opposition leader mooted legal action against Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin for advising the king on the move.
An emergency was declared by the Agong on Jan 12 and due to last until Aug 1, or earlier if Covid-19 cases are reduced.
Parliament, all state assemblies and elections have been suspended until the end of the emergency.
