If the PM truly loves this country, he should advise the Agong to rescind the enactment that suspended our Parliament.

If the answer is no, then the current suspension of Parliament is unconstitutional, as will be explained later.For a momentous decision like the suspension of Parliament, there must be a provision in the Federal Constitution prescribing how such an event can take place. But there is none.

It is obvious from the wording of the entire Article 150 of the Federal Constitution that provides for the proclamation of emergency and its subsequent operations, that the writer of the constitution had made the basic assumption that there is a running Parliament throughout the emergency. If Parliament can be suspended, Article 150 and its many clauses would surely not have been written the way they were written.

Why beat around the bush? It's 100% the agong's fault. The agong was wrong in declaring this political Emergency. He has betrayed pubic trust. The agong must resign.
