Today is the last day for the cabinet ministers to reply to our policy speeches. At the end of the day, we have to cast vote on the budget 2016. We in the opposition bench called for division or vote counting. The voting results is 128 votes that support the budget vs 74 votes against the budget.
There are 37 MPs in the DAP, Lim Kit Siang has been suspended and Tan Seng Giaw didn’t manage to come back to cast vote. So DAP has 35 votes.
29 MPs from PKR and one from PSM voted against the budget.
6 MPs from Amanah. So the total votes against the budget supposed to be 71.
So we guess 3 extra votes were from PAS. The rest of the PAS MPs abstained from voting. It will be interesting for you to guess who are these three brave MPs.
Today I have been joking and teasing UMNO cabinet ministers n Tan Sri Muhyiddin in the MPs’ lounge. I told them to support us to vote against the budget so that they can be the next PM :-))
Sigh…..there is no provision of motion of no confidence in the standing order in the parliament, Voting against the budget is the only way to oust PM. We have tried our best to play our part in the parliament to vote against the budget but we failed because we don’t have enough digits and we have unfaithful partners in the opposition bench. :-((
So, no choice…..Najib is still your PM!
