These MPs did not vote, they just abstained with their own excuses. It’s all right, he adds.
Umno and Barisan Nasional MPs were the cause for the Federal Constitution Bill 2019 failing to get two-thirds majority support in the Dewan Rakyat today, PKR leader and Port Dickson MP Anwar Ibrahim said.
“Umno and BN did not reject, but did not vote. They just abstained with their own excuses. It’s all right, but we can all see the bill was very clear, that’s all,” he said at a Pakatan Harapan rally in conjunction with the Rantau state by-election in Seremban last night. It was tabled by Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad for second reading. However, it did not get through the block voting which resulted in 138 MPs supporting the amendment, none rejecting and 59 abstaining.
