Members from Sabah Pakatan Harapan (PH), MUDA and Upko lodged the report at the Karamunsing police station following Takiyuddin’s announcement over the revocation of the emergency ordinances in Parliament on Monday.

“We believe the statement by Takiyuddin has failed to respect the Constitution whereby the authority to revoke the emergency ordinances is vested in the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, in accordance with Article 150(2B) and 150(3),” said Sabah PH Youth chief Phoong Jin Zhe in his Facebook page.

“We are also of the opinion that this move is in conflict with Section 124B of the Penal Code, which is detrimental to parliamentary democracy.”

Phoong, who is also the Luyang assemblyman and Sabah DAP youth chief, further claimed the government led by Muhyiddin had confused and deceived the King and the Dewan Rakyat.

He said besides strict action against Muhyiddin and Takiyuddin, they also believed the prime minister and his Cabinet should resign, contending they had lost the moral right and credibility to continue governing.

He added that the Sabah DAP Youth members in eight divisions statewide had lodged similar reports yesterday.

“DAP is consistent in preserving and defending our parliamentary democracy under our constitutional monarchy,” he said.

The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said yesterday the government’s revocation of the emergency ordinances was done in accordance with the law.

The PMO, in an apparent reply to a royal rebuke earlier over the matter, said Takiyuddin and Attorney-General Idrus Harun had had an audience with the King on July 24 to explain the government’s stand.

The PMO, however, did not specifically refer to the statement by Istana Negara that Putrajaya had not obtained the King’s consent to revoke the emergency ordinances.
