PUTRAJAYA, March 1 \u00a0— Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said\u00a0not even\u00a0one of the ordinance introduced under the Emergency Proclamation was aimed at enabling the prime minister\u00a0to remain in power forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the emergency that is in force now has an end date, Aug 1 this year, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the first time in the history of our country that\u00a0an\u00a0emergency has an end\u00a0date … I am aware of and I understand the meaning of democracy,\u201d he said in his\u00a0One-Year Malaysia Prihatin Keynote Address here today which was carried live on local television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muhyiddin said since the emergency came into force, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong had promulgated three ordinances, namely the Emergency (Essential Powers) Ordinance 2021, Emergency (Workers’ Minimum Standards of Housing, Accommodation and Amenities) (Amendment) Ordinance 2021 and Emergency (Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases) (Amendment) Ordinance 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said all the ordinances were aimed at enabling the government to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic more efficiently and effectively, including improving the management of foreign workers’ accommodation, which was one of the main causes of the spread of COVID-19 in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
