Mejlis fails to pass Coronavirus legislation

Yesterday, the Mejlis voted down the proposed I DEN AM 3 (Coronavirus Prevention, Mitigation and Containment Act) or "Coronavirus Prevention, Mitigation and Containment Act" (CPMC Act), proposed by Prime Minister Hasan Çakar. The vote on the proposed act ended in a tie with three in support and three in opposition, with the Shahanshah breaking the tie in favour of the opposition.
The act was drafted and proposed by the Prime Minister after he had received some criticism for being dismissive of the initial ability of coronavirus strand COVID-19 to spread outside China, which was recently declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
The act sought to establish numerous policies and procedures to counter the virus, including mandating isolation at home or in 'isolation camps', creating an organisation to manage planned isolation camps (the Isolation Camps Administration), banning public gatherings, granting executive and legislative powers to the Divan and Prime Minister to deal with the crisis, closing all Hasanistan's borders for both travel to and from the country, giving sanjaks powers to deal with the situation and calling for 'physical and moral hygiene'. The act was controversial for two reasons, firstly its inclusion of punishments that included 'execution' although Prime Minister Çakar stated "Its laughable to think this part was serious, we're not going to execute anyone as we don't want to or have power to, it was just to make citizens aware of the threat". The other controversy was the inclusion of granting significant powers to the Prime Minister, including the ability to pass 'decrees to protect public health', which some stated was authoritarian and dictatorial.
After the failure to pass the act, Prime Minister Çakar issued the following full statement: "It is a shame that our decisive plan to stop coronavirus, the most common sense response to coronavirus so far in this world, was rejected but I will revise it and allow it to be voted on again. We advise all citizens follow the guidance of the act anyway for public health and their own safety. In regard to the threat of coronavirus, this tragedy is sole blame of the global capitalist-hedonist oligarchs who place more importance on stock markets, oil prices and gatherings of vice (eg: 'concerts' and 'nightclubs') than the well-being of their own people, the incompetent Turkophobic Chinese totalitariat who cares more for oppressing our Uyghur kin than solving the inital outbreak in Wuhan city and the corrupt Grand Unified Micronational who is to busy spreading alarmism and meaningless statements."
