KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia has declared a national emergency to battle the coronavirus pandemic that has killed as many people this year as the whole of 2020.
The Palace said on Tuesday (Jan 12) that King Abdullah Ahmad Shah has assented to the government's request for an emergency order that will be effective up to Aug 1, or earlier should Covid-19 cases come under control.
"Al-Sultan Abdullah is of the view that the spread of Covid-19 in the country is at a very critical stage and there is need to decree an Emergency Proclamation," the royal comptroller Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin said in a press statement.
This confirms The Straits Times' report on Monday (Jan 11) that Cabinet had met to revive the emergency proposal that had initially been rejected by the King in October.
The situation in the country has since changed.
Noting that the number of beds and intensive care slots at hospitals for Covid-19 patients were nearly full, Sultan Abdullah of Pahang approved the emergency powers for the administration of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin as a "proactive move".
