KOTA KINABALU, Aug 2 ― After failing to uphold the role of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and Parliament with regards to the Emergency Ordinance, Sabah Law Society (SLS) president Roger Chin said that the government is abusing its position by suspending Parliament.

Chin said the government has failed to respect the Federal Constitution and the role and function of Parliament.

“It was plain to see that persons in power were desperate not to allow the Parliament sitting to continue.

“The use of the Ministry of Health ― arguably the most important ministry in present times ― as a reason to adjourn was entirely transparent in its intention and has sullied the reputation of the ministry,” he said.
