Press Statement<\/em>
17th June 2021<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takiyuddin Hassan Must Be Sacked For Not Respecting The Law And Open Disloyalty To The Royalty And Rakyat\u2019s Wishes For Parliament To Be Convened \u201cAs Soon As Possible\u201d As Decreed By The King And Rulers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

De facto Law Minister Takiyuddin Hassan must be sacked for not respecting the law and open disloyalty to the Royalty and rakyat\u2019s wishes for Parliament to be convened \u201cas soon as possible\u201d as decreed by the King and State Rulers yesterday. Unless Takiyuddin makes a U-turn and demonstrate genuine contrition for this lapse, by his readiness to press the Prime Minister to comply with the Royal decree \u201cas soon as possible\u201d, the Prime Minister would be complicit in Takiyuddin\u2019s blatant disobedience to the Federal Constitution and the will of the rakyat and Rulers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is so difficult to understand about the Royal decree that Parliament must convene as soon as possible? Takiyuddin\u2019s reliance on Prime Minister Mahiaddin Md Yasin\u2019s suggestion of Parliament convening by October or nearly 4 months later, obviously does not fulfil the meaning of \u201cas soon as possible\u201d. For Takiyuddin to attempt to spin the King\u2019s decree of \u201cas soon as possible\u201d, as not specifying an exact date nor state which month when the House should be in session, is both irresponsible and dishonest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Previously, Takiyuddin has shown his partisanship over professionalism by claiming that it is the Cabinet that will decide whether to advise the King whether to extend the Emergency, contrary to the Special Independent Committee on the Emergency 2021 set up under the Emergency Ordinances. Even the Prime Minister later corrected Takiyuddin that it is the Special Independent Committee on the Emergency 2021, and not the Cabinet, that will advise the King accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many more mistakes must Malaysians suffer from a Law Minister who refuses to act in accordance with the law? Since the Rulers have also decreed that the Emergency Proclamation should not be extended after 1 August, Takiyuddin should act according to his powers as Law Minister to give effect to that decree. Instead, Takiyuddin performs amazing linguistic gymnastics to the detriment of the interests of the rakyat and jeopardising a whole-of society effort to win the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Mahiaddin\u2019s National Recovery Plan (NRP), Parliament will reconvene during the third phase of Malaysia’s recovery from the current lockdown in October. This contradicts Mahiaddin\u2019s three criteria in the NRP to move from one phase to another, namely the number of daily Covid-19 cases, nationwide ICU capacity and the number of people who have been vaccinated (with two doses).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on these three criteria, Parliament can reopen immediately and need not wait till October. There are currently no new daily COVID-19 cases amongst MPs, not a single MP is receiving treatment under ICU and all MPs have been vaccinated. Using Mahiaddn\u2019s three criteria in the NRP, there is no logical reason based on science and data to prevent Parliament from reconvening as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
