OPPOSITION leader Anwar Ibrahim said he instructed the Amanah and DAP chiefs not to vote against the national budget yesterday because he wished for the MPs to study the amendments to the bill.

“Although Lim Guan Eng and Mohamad Sabu felt that there was a need to call for division voting, I decided to say no as the opposition leader and Pakatan Harapan chairman,” Anwar said in a statement today.

  • This fellow thinks that the agenda of the nation is for him to become PM....and he would do anything to achieve this including selling his soul and something else to the devil....this cunning schemer deliberately waited till 15 mins before the vote to send out his directive to the opposition to catch them by surprise so that they wont have much time to seek clarifications or object to his last minute directive....this fellow has pulled his stunts too often and yet stupos in the DAP are willing to be led by him....including self professed Christians who should know better than to support a morall
    y compromised and sexually ambivalent person like him.Shame on HY and BY.
