The declaration made by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the Conference of Rulers regarding the immediate reconvention of the Parliament has been noted by Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan. However, he pointed out that the Agong did not give any exact date for the reopening of the Parliament.

In a discussion on Bicara Harakah, he said that the Agong did not explicitly give a date but it will be reopened as soon as possible. So, the Prime Minister can proclaim that Parliament can be held in September or October for instance.

Talking to moderator Badzli Bakar, Takiyuddin added that the Agong has given emphasis on the MPs role to focus on addressing the worsening Covid-19 situation.

So, upon the reconvention of the Parliament, the most pressing matter to discuss is on how to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic above anything else.
