KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 20 — Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today Pakatan Harapan and several government federal lawmakers have submitted a letter appealing for the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to rescind his Proclamation of Emergency. The PKR president alleged that Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin wrongly advised the Agong on the matter, and suggested that this could have been motivated by a desire to remain in power despite losing majority support in Parliament.

The letter, which also appealed for the Agong to allow Parliament to convene should the Agong insist on Emergency rule, was submitted yesterday, said Anwar, who is member of parliament for Port Dickson. “We are not protesting, but appealing to His Royal Highness’ wisdom and hope that he would reassess and reconsider the reasons that were given by the prime minister which are unreasonable,” Anwar said at an online press conference today.

Well if kindergarden can continue, why not Parliament? Typical AI. Spinning euphemism on an obvious treasonous act. 600 over people are dead and tbe cases was 4,008 yesterday. That itself warranted an emergency to be severely enforced . Not remove. People wont die if the Parliament dont sit. People will die & many will be quarantined & many will be flopping on hospital beds unable to breathe, if tighter measures are not enforced to curb the pandemic. AI should be ashamed of himself for behaving as if situations are normal.
