"Although there are some who try to challenge the Emergency Proclamation in court, I believe that His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong as the Head of State fully understands and respects the country's legal system and process.
"As the head of government, I too always respect our country's legal system and process based on the system of Constitutional Monarchy and Parliamentary Democracy.
"I would like to reiterate my commitment that I will advise His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to dissolve Parliament as soon as the outbreak of COVID-19 has subsided and the General Election is safe to be held," he added.
At the same time, Muhyiddin also called on all parties, whether from the government or the opposition, to work together to mobilise efforts to fight the COVID-19 epidemic regardless of political differences.
