KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysia's king has called on Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to reconvene the country's suspended parliament immediately, despite the latter's statement just a day earlier that the legislature could resume in September.
King Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin, who chaired a special conference of Malay state rulers on Wednesday, made it clear he wants parliament to fulfill its purpose. Separately, the rulers also came out against extending the country's COVID-19 state of emergency, due to expire Aug. 1.
