国会下议院副议长阿莎丽娜认为，政府在紧急状态期间暂停国会，乃是行政机关阉割立法机关的功能。
阿莎丽娜今日致函总检察长依德鲁斯哈伦，批评政府颁布的紧急状态，导致国会停止，阻止国会议员履行职责。
质问为何不参照他国做法
也是巫统边佳兰国会议员的阿莎丽娜在信中指出，立法机关功能遭到阉割后，行政机关似乎在紧急状态期间掌握无限权力，不受限制地处理国家事务。她感到疑惑，为何马来西亚不能与其他国家一样，可透过减少国会议员人数、善用议会时间，或是播放特别会议等方法照常举行国会。

反对党一致赞同
杨巧双：议长是否也可以致函？
行动党泗岩沫国会议员杨巧双在推特质问，议长人在何处，他是否也可写同样的信函给总检察长？柔佛行动党主席刘镇东表示阿莎丽娜的观点值得朝野政党支持，并认为暂停国会是一件非常糟糕的事，政府没理由暂停议员的工作。
Where is the Speaker in this? Can't he write the same to the AG? https://t.co/VwL4nX9eEh

DS Azalina's views deserve bipartisan support. It is bad enough that Parliamentary sittings are suspended; there is no reasons to suspend the works of parliamentary committees. https://t.co/UjmG8dHGDs

公正党通讯主任法米也同意阿莎丽娜的说法，并要求总检察长公开回应此事。他好奇地表示，行政部门和司法部门可自由行使职能，但立法部门却被禁止运作。
I concur. AG must openly answer.

It is absolutely bizarre that the Executive and Judiciary are free to function fully, yet the Legislative arm is completely disabled. Even the media can perform its duties.
A terribly undemocratic state of affairs. https://t.co/NgqVOgzE03
