From Christopher Leong

Many Malaysians, myself included, read the news of the Dewan Rakyat proceedings held on July 26 with some bemusement, concern and consternation at the legal sleight of hand and artful antics displayed within the august House.

It has been reported that the federal government – via the minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Parliament and Law) – had announced in the Dewan Rakyat that the government had decided, based on Article 150(3) of the Federal Constitution, to revoke the six emergency ordinances that had been promulgated during the operation of the relevant Proclamation of Emergency.


The minister was reported to have gone on to say that the issue of annulment is therefore no longer relevant.
