PETALING JAYA: DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng has urged Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to uphold the royal decree that rejected his request to declare a partial state of emergency last week.

“Instead of loyally upholding the royal decree as required of his capacity as prime minister, Muhyiddin has tried to justify the need for an emergency and appears to have not given up on making a similar request in future,” Lim said in a statement today.

In a special address yesterday, Muhyddin had said declaring an emergency in Batu Sapi, Sabah, and also Sarawak was the only way to stop the coming by-election and state elections there.

Muhyiddin said holding any elections now may cause a fresh outbreak of Covid-19 cases.
