The government of Malaysia will not extend the ‘controversial’ emergency imposed due to Corona beyond August 1. A minister gave this information on Monday. This decision of the government had given rise to public outrage on a large scale. In January, the king, following the advice of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yasin, declared the first nationwide emergency in more than half the country to fight the coronavirus.
It allowed the government to rule by decree and suspend parliament, after critics accused Muhyiddin of using the pandemic to evade a no-confidence vote and save his weak coalition. Despite the emergency and nationwide lockdown, the country could not escape the outbreak of Corona, for which the highly contagious Delta variant was responsible.
