It was fright night for the BN as the national Budget reportedly was passed by a wafer-thin 66-63 majority in Parliament last night.
That’s 48 per cent attendance for the BN MPs and a 77 per cent turnout for the Pakatan reps. If half a dozen more Pakatan MPs had been there and they had defeated the BN in the vote, it would have sent shock-waves across the country. A missed opportunity if ever there was one.
Najib and Ong Tee Keat reportedly had to rush to Parliament to vote – and this was for their “1Malaysia Prosperity for All” national Budget.
Malaysian Insider has the story here.
It just goes to show how much importance these missing MPs place in Parliament when they can be absent during such a crucial debate and vote. And did those who turned up at the last minute – without participating in the debates – really understand what they were voting for?
If they can’t be there to debate and vote on the national Budget, then why exactly are they MPs?

Here is a brief summary of those MIA from Penang:
Gobind Singh Deo did not attend the voting session in the Dewan Rakyat, but he has been barred from entering the Dewan Rakyat, so his absence can be excuse.
But what about the rest?
5 of them are from DAP and 1 is from PKR.
Of all 5 DAP parliamentarians from Penang, NONE of them attend the session in the Dewan Rakyat.
PKR fares better. Only one of them awol.
Here are the 6 … who have to answer to their missing-in-action in the Parliament:
Lim Guan Eng
Jeff Ooi
Chow Kon Yeow
P. Ramasamy
Karpal Singh
Zahrain Mohamed Hashim
We, the Penang Lang, should NOT let them get away this time.
We voted them in because we are very tired of BN, and they, especially those from DAP, have betrayed our trust !

Quite amazing that the PM himself and a key minister were not even there to see the PM’s budget through. Looks like a parent who would neglect his new born child until hospital authorities tell him that complications have developed. As usual, the BN always takes its successes for granted.
The Pakatan, on the other hand, appears to prefer the “nearly got” habit and seems content to miss good opportunities. Is this as far as the Pakatan goes? If they ever attain the leadership of the country, will the Pakatan ride on the backs of its backbenchers just like the BN?
63:66 may be a success for now, PR, but still insufficient to be seen as a brilliant success. If you want to serve the rakyat, please see that all your MPs pull their weight at the right time and show us how different you are from the BN slobs.
