Failure to convene Parliament an affront to Malay Rulers, says Umno deputy president

KUALA LUMPUR, June 17 — Any attempt to delay reopening Parliament following the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s remarks yesterday would be an insult to the Malay Rulers, said Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.

The Umno deputy president said it was no longer tenable to only convene Parliament in Phase Three of the National Recovery Plan as this provided no certainty on when the federal legislature would be able to meet for the first time this year.

Mohamad, or commonly called Tok Mat, said Parliament should not be subject to such phases or other conditions as it was the only proper venue to discuss the country’s efforts to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I strongly urge that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s decree and wisdom be heeded immediately. Politicising his will will not aid in the country’s speedy recovery.
