PETALING JAYA: The Umno supreme council wants the Perikatan Nasional government to allow Parliament to convene during the state of emergency, says Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan.
He said Umno leaders also decided that the party will send a letter to the Registrar of Societies (ROS) and the National Security Council to ask for advice and guidelines on conducting the Umno party polls due to be held this year.
“We insist and propose to the government that Parliament and state assemblies convene once again, in line with the statement by Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al- Mustafa Billah Shah that Parliament should convene during the current state of emergency.
