'Proclamation of emergency is not against the principles of democracy'
The proclamation of emergency is not against the principles of democracy as it is clearly enshrined in Article 150 (1) of the Federal Constitution.
Deputy Foreign Minister Kamarudin Jaffar said the Article clearly stated that it is necessary to declare the state of emergency if security, or economic life, or public order is threatened.
He said the emergency proclamation is only aimed at curbing the spread of Covid-19.
