Kuala Lumpur: Datuk Seri Khairuddin Abu Hassan (pic) Monday filed a lawsuit against Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and the Malaysian government, in his bid to have the courts decide whether a Prime Minister who no longer has the majority support of MPs in the Dewan Rakyat can still advise the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to proclaim an Emergency or can still suspend Parliament sittings.
Khairuddin, who was a Batu Kawan Umno Vice-Chief until 2015, in his lawsuit asked the High Court in Kuala Lumpur to hear and decide four important constitutional questions.
Based on court papers sighted by Malay Mail, one of the questions asked by Khairuddin was whether advice – by a Prime Minister who had lost the confidence of the majority of the members of the Dewan Rakyat – to propose to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong for a declaration of Proclamation of Emergency is invalid and unconstitutional.
There seems to be no break from politicking as politicians continue their power games during this MCO.
POLITICALLY, the difference between the movement control order in 2020 and the Emergency rule in 2021 is that there was a political distancing during the move to flatten the Covid-19 curve last year.
This year, there’s no political lockdown even though the country is in a state of emergency.
Early last year, the Pakatan Harapan government fell and Perikatan Nasional rose when Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was appointed the Prime Minister.
To flatten the pandemic, the Perikatan government declared MCO soon after, on March 18,2020. During the MCO, there was not much political noise even though Pakatan Plus politicians felt that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad should be Prime Minister for the second time as he had the numbers.
