The Star and others are reporting that a state of emergency is about to be declared in Malaysia. The rising rate of COVID infections is said to be the reason for the declaration.
The Agong may declare an Emergency pursuant to Article 150 of the Malaysian Constitution when His Majesty is satisfied, as advised by his Cabinet, that a grave emergency exists whereby the security, or the economic life, or public order in the Federation or any part thereof is threatened,
The rate of deaths per day in Malaysia due to COVID infection is approaching the peak of approximately 8 per day in late March this year, even if the rate of infection per day has spiked to approximately 1000, which is significantly higher than the average over the past 6 months.
