JUNE 19 — Even if we agree with the view that the King has the power to reconvene Parliament under emergency, there are formalities to convening Parliament.
“In keeping with the command of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, following the consent of the Rulers, I hereby declare that the date for Hari Raya Aidilfitri/Aidiladha for the states in Malaysia has been set for .” By definition, a proclamation is a subsidiary legislation [section 3 of the Interpretation Acts 1948 and 1967]. Cyrus Das, in his doctoral thesis “Emergency Power and Parliamentary Government in Malaysia: Constitutionalism in a New Democracy” explains that the proclamation of Emergency is a legal instrument and must be published in the Gazette, and takes effect only upon publication in the Gazette.
The other way to convene Parliament is under the Dewan Rakyat Standing Orders . DRSO No. 11 requires the prime minister to give at least 28 days’ notice for Parliament to convene.

Kit Siang rebuts 'elastic' interpretation on convening Parliament 'as soon as possible'It is shocking to see PAS ministers trying to stretch meaning of 'as soon as possible' - Kit Siang.
