KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 18 — The courts should reject any requests to file suits challenging the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s emergency declaration powers, Umno’s Padang Rengas MP Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz said.
Referring to the Federal Constitution, under Article 158, Nazri said in the event that the Agong’s satisfaction — as mentioned in Clauses 1 and 2(B) — is final and conclusive, it cannot be challenged in any court for any reason.
“So the courts should straightaway reject any request challenging the Agong’s satisfaction.
“(Courts) should reject from the get-go rather than stay silent, as it will create uncertainty because people will be kept wondering, since there isn’t any finality in the matter,” he said during his debate on the Budget 2021 Bill in Parliament today.
