Emergency laws will be repealed at next Parliament session: minister

Emergency laws including the latest ordinance supposedly to combat "fake news" will be tabled for repeal in Parliament at its next sitting after the emergency declaration has been lifted, de facto law minister Takiyuddin Hassan said today.

Speaking at a press conference in Putrajaya on the newly gazetted ordinance to combat "fake news" on Covid-19 and the emergency, Takiyuddin said it would be in effect for as long as the emergency declaration is not lifted.
