KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 3 ― Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin said she saw no mistake made by de facto Law Minister Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan’s remarks on the revocation of the Emergency Ordinances.
During the Astro Awani’s Consider This talk show last night, Zuraida backed Takiyuddin’s announcement in the Parliament last week, saying that the latter was describing the Cabinet’s decision on the revocation.
“If you listen to him carefully, he said nothing wrong with regards to the ordinances. He said the Cabinet had revoked the ordinances on July 21; that was the Cabinet’s decision.
“So, there is nothing wrong with that,” she said, referring to Takiyuddin.

After being asked to comment on Istana Negara’s statement reprimanding Takiyuddin, she expressed her frustration towards the monarchs ― saying it could have been done privately instead.
“It is a constitutional monarchy, where you have to get the advice from the Cabinet and prime minister in anything that you want to do.
“I was a bit upset. If there is anything that was not clear, [the palace] should call the prime minister,” she said, adding that the prime minister has been briefing the King on the matter.
