COVID-19 : Malaysia declares state of Emergency

Kuala Lumpur, 13/1: Due to a sudden surge of Coronavirus, Malaysia’s king declared a nationwide state of emergency. The Parliament was also suspended though the critics claimed it was a trick to cling to power.

This development came after the PM announced a new restriction across the Southeast Asian nations including the closure of most of the business.

SultanAbdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah agreed to declare an emergency until  August 1 following a request from Prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
