KUALA LUMPUR: Members of the media have been flocking to Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s residence in Bukit Damansara here since 1pm following the statement issued by Istana Negara regarding the revocation of emergency ordinances today.
Several vehicles believed to be carrying Cabinet members and attorney-general Idrus Harun were spotted entering the main gate to the residence at 1.30pm.
The statement from Istana Negara stated that Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah has expressed utmost disappointment with the statement made in Parliament last Monday that the government had revoked all emergency ordinances under the ongoing emergency without His Majesty’s consent.
It said the King was also very disappointed that His Majesty’s decree to law minister Takiyuddin Hassan and attorney-general Idrus Harun for the proposed revocation of all the ordinances to be tabled and debated in Parliament had not been carried out.
