The
National Operations Council (NOC) or Majlis Gerakan Negara (MAGERAN) was an
emergency administrative body which attempted to restore law and order in
Malaysia after the
13 May Incident in 1969, when racial rioting broke out in the federal capital of
Kuala Lumpur. From 1969 to 1971, the NOC governed the country in lieu of the elected government. In 1971, the NOC was dissolved with the restoration of
Parliament.
