This comes after yesterday’s announcement by law minister Takiyuddin Hassan that all six Emergency ordinances had been revoked since July 21.

Najib said it raised many questions in terms of the rule of law and the legality of the current administration until the end of the Emergency proclamation.

“In my opinion, the statement yesterday was very confusing for the people and the Dewan Rakyat. An accurate, detailed and clear explanation must be made before it raises further questions,” the Pekan MP told a press conference today.

Najib also asked whether the revocation of the Emergency ordinances had followed the due process of law.

He said it usually involved the Cabinet advising the King who would then give his consent before it can be gazetted.

“This was not clarified,” he said.

Najib went on to ask if the revocation of Emergency ordinances could be backdated or be applied retrospectively.

He asked if this meant whether any actions taken by the authorities after July 21 were no longer relevant according to the rule of law.
