[superadmin]

PUTRAJAYA: Home minister Hamzah Zainudin has taken a swipe at former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and others who are calling for an end to the emergency.

“These people don’t understand. If there was no emergency, we might not be able to lower the numbers (Covid-19 cases) as soon as possible,” he told reporters after an event here today.

Two days ago, several opposition leaders went to the palace to hand over a memorandum requesting for an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Earlier today, it was reported that the King agreed to grant an audience to the opposition’s Tamat Darurat committee to hand over a petition calling for an end to the emergency.
