As expected, Muhyiddin mentioned Stephen Kalong Ningkan's judgment in his speech. The excerpt which he quoted stemmed from the majority judgment delivered by Barakbah LP.

However, there is a dissenting judgment from Ong Hock Thye FJ: https://twitter.com/IqbalHarith97/status/1348810716292149249

"Art 150 FC, by specifically providing that the emergency must be one "whereby the security or economic life of the Federation is threatened" does not confer on the Cabinet an untrammeled discretion to cause an emergency to be declared at their mere whim and fancy..."

"...The crucial question here is whether the proclamation was made (a) not to deal with a grave emergency whereby the security or economic life of Sarawak was threatened but (b) for the purpose of removing the petitioner from the office of Chief Minister of Sarawak." [cont]

"In my opinion there can be no two views that the primary objective was the removal of the petitioner. The Deputy Prime Minister himself said so in unambiguous terms. This finding of fact, nevertheless, does not ipso facto resolve the question entirely..." [cont]

"Therefore, after the most anxious consideration of the matter, on both sides, I have come to the conclusion that I am unable to say, with any degree of confidence, that the Cabinet advice to His Majesty was not prompted by bona fide considerations of security."

"bona fide considerations of security".

i think we all know whether this darurat is prompted by actual security considerations or not.

**correction: the excerpt quoted was from the Privy Council's decision.
