Will Takiyuddin Hassan resign over the Emergency Ordinances controversy?

Question

Accepted Answer

Takiyuddin Hassan Will Not Resign Amidst Emergency Ordinances Controversy

Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan will not be resigning from his position as minister in the Prime Minister's Office following the controversy surrounding the revocation of Emergency Ordinances (EOs). This decision is framed as a collective Cabinet responsibility, not the action of a single minister.
Confirmation of Continued Role

PAS Syura Council member Datuk Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali confirmed that Takiyuddin Hassan will remain in his post. He stated that the cancellation of the EOs was a collective decision by the Cabinet, emphasizing that it was not solely the action of one minister. Mohd Khairuddin further indicated that there would be no change in Takiyuddin's position or portfolio, asserting that the government acted appropriately for the people and the country.
Announcement of EO Revocation

On July 26, Takiyuddin Hassan announced in Parliament that the government had resolved not to extend the Emergency and its associated Ordinances beyond August 1. He further disclosed that the six Emergency Ordinances had been revoked by the government on July 21, following a Cabinet meeting held on the same date.
Royal Assent Controversy

Opposition parties expressed significant concern after Istana Negara released a statement from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah. The statement indicated that the King had not granted royal assent for the revocation of the EOs, a step considered constitutionally necessary. This led to a significant uproar and an adjournment of Parliament.
Prime Minister's Office Statement

Subsequently, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) issued its own statement. This statement asserted that Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Takiyuddin Hassan had adhered to all established due processes as stipulated under the Federal Constitution when they announced the revocation of the EOs on July 26.
