EMOTIONS ran high again on the second day of the special Parliament meeting after Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan did not explain the sudden revocation of the Emergency Ordinances on July 21.
Yesterday, Opposition MPs demanded that Takiyuddin explain whether or not the Yang di-Pertuan Agong had consented to the revocation of the Emergency Ordinances.
In response, Takiyuddin said he could only give his answer on Monday, in line with the ruling by Speaker Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun that he explain issues connected to the Emergency Ordinances on that day.
“So, I humbly pray that everyone be fair with the government. I have been ordered to explain the Emergency Proclamation next Monday and that is all I ask,” Takiyuddin said, triggering shouts of disapproval from several MPs.
