Summary

Description
English: This is the front page of the Emergency (Essential Powers) Ordinance, 1969 [P.U.(A) 146/1969]. This emergency ordinance was issued by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia after he officially declared a state of emergency for the whole of the country following the May 13 riot. Another 91 emergency ordinances will be issued before the Parliament reconvened on 20 Feb 1971. This ordinance would later be repealed and replaced by the Emergency (Essential Powers) Act 1979 in response to the Teh Cheng Poh v Public Prosecutor rulling.
