- 3 years ago
Three top opposition figures today have requested an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to convey alleged negative sentiments from the public over the proclamation of emergency.
The trio - Langkawi MP Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Kota Raja MP Mohamad Sabu and Shah Alam MP Khalid Abdul Samad - submitted their petition to Istana Negara at approximately 3.10pm.
The petition was submitted on behalf of the ad hoc Committee to End Emergency, which comprises opposition MPs from Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (Pejuang), Amanah, Warisan, DAP, PKR, and the Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (Muda).
Speaking to reporters prior to entering the palace, Mahathir said public sentiment against the emergency was very bad and it damages the sovereign's reputation.
