#KiniNews: Budget 2021 passes first vote, Anwar opts not to show numbers
The opposition decided not to reveal its numbers in the Dewan Rakyat today after a group of Umno MPs decided not to derail the Budget 2021 during the first of a series of votes.
While opposition lawmakers expressed their objection to the budget through a voice vote, they, however, did not seek a bloc vote which would require those votes to be counted.
The budget would now move to the committee stage, where there would be more debates and votes.
