KINI ROUNDUP | Here are key headlines you may have missed, in brief.
1. The government has declared a state of emergency due to the Covid-19 situation. While a civilian government would be maintained, there would be no elections nor parliamentary sessions, and emergency powers may be used to commandeer private healthcare facilities and even increase penalties for SOP violations.
2. An independent committee of health experts and bipartisan lawmakers will be set up to advise the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on when to end the emergency. Despite this, critics from various quarters are sceptical of the need for an emergency and alleged it is a bid by Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to cling to power. Learn what the emergency means in this KiniGuide.
