[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: The Perikatan Nasional government came under severe fire from all quarters for what they claim as the government going back on its word that the special independent committee will advise the King on the future of the emergency.

Leaders from Umno and Pakatan Harapan were in unison when lambasting de facto law minister Takiyuddin Hassan for saying the Cabinet will advise the King on whether to end or continue the emergency.

They said Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin had explicitly said in a live telecast when announcing the emergency that the special independent committee will be advising the King on this matter.

PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail asked if the special committee, of which he is a member, had suddenly become powerless, adding that the government had made a clear exception for it to advise the King, instead of the Cabinet.

“We are still in existence and functioning. Our aim is to present a report to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
