An opposition lawmaker demanded an explanation of the government's previous silence on the revocation of emergency laws when it was forthright about the prime minister’s health.<br /><br />Steven Sim (Harapan-Bukit Mertajam) said the matter was serious but it appeared that Putrajaya adopted a main-main (nonchalant) attitude.<br /><br />“If the prime minister needing to be hospitalised for diarrhoea could be announced, how can something as important as the revocation of emergency ordinances not be announced?" he asked. <br /><br />In view of this, Sim demanded that Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin (PN-Pagoh) elaborate on the matter during his winding-up speech this evening.
