KUALA LUMPUR, April 22 — The Yang di-Pertuan Agong has granted an audience to the Committee for Ending the Emergency Declaration, its chairman Khalid Samad said today.

The Shah Alam MP, however, said that a date has yet to be set for the meeting, adding that the invitation from the palace, informing the committee of the monarch’s consent, was signed by Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah’s senior private secretary, Colonel (Rtd) Datuk Nazim Mohd Alim.

“I am pleased to inform you that this morning I received a letter from Istana Negara saying that His Majesty, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, has agreed to grant an audience to the Committee for Ending the Emergency Declaration, to submit a petition to appeal for an end to the Emergency.

“Although the date for the audience has yet to be determined, we are confident that it will be set as soon as possible to enable us all to appear before the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to submit the appeal petition.
