“If it is true that the EOs have been revoked, then it is pointless to discuss anything in this sitting,” said the Tanjong Karang MP.

However, Speaker Azhar Azizan Harun said a final ruling had been made yesterday to discuss the details on Aug 2.

He explained that the daily agenda had been set and de facto law minister Takiyuddin Hassan would brief the House next week.

Ramkarpal Singh (PH-Bukit Gelugor) then asked Azhar to state the laws which were used to delay the reply on the ordinances, to which Azhar said today’s briefing was on the health crisis.

Azhar further said the House will be briefed on the vaccination rollout tomorrow, and on Thursday, the focus will be on finance.

“Monday will be on the laws,” he said, as MPs continued to pressure him to overturn his ruling.

Anwar Ibrahim (PH-Port Dickson) said opposition MPs just wanted to know if the process to present the revocation to the King was carried out.

“The details can be discussed on Monday,” Anwar explained, adding that the five-day Parliamentary briefing would be wrong if the emergency ordinances had been revoked.

He also said Takiyuddin should not be allowed to hide behind the speaker as the minister had said he wanted to answer but was unable to do so due to the ruling.

Earlier today, opposition MPs demanded that Takiyuddin answer if the King was presented with the revocation request and had agreed to the matter.

Just give us in PDF format, MPs tell Adham

Earlier, Fahmi Fadzil (PH-Lembah Pantai) asked health minister Dr Adham Baba to just give his briefing on the health crisis in soft copy.

He said “there was too much information” and requested it in PDF format.

R Sivarasa (PH-Sungai Buloh) said hard copies of the briefings should also be made available to allow MPs to keep track of the 45-minute briefing.

Yesterday, he said, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s briefing on the national recovery plan was made available through a soft copy.
