KUALA LUMPUR: Pasir Gudang MP Hassan Karim caught PKR by surprise when he was the only one from his party who stood up along with Parti Amanah Negara and Parti Pejuang Tanah Air MPs to call for a bloc vote to pass Budget 2021.

Hassan said he went against party lines because he had to follow his conscience as an elected representative.Asked if there was an order by the PKR top leadership to support Budget 2021, Hassan declined to comment, merely saying “I cannot reveal internal matters”.

“I already informed the party leadership that I’m standing up, I’m also ready for punishment,” he added.DAP has also been silent on its stance towards Budget 2021. It is understood that a statement from DAP on the matter will be released soon.It is understood top Pakatan leaders are currently in a meeting in Parliament over the matter, according to a source.

Under Parliament Standing Order 46, a Bill will be put to the House for a voice vote of"ayes" and"noes" at the debates with the results announced by the Speaker. However, for a bloc-vote to be triggered, not less than 15 lawmakers must be seen standing in support, failing which the Speaker would announce results of the earlier voice vote.

Your conscience is clear

Steady YB Pasir Gudang! You can be a potential PM candidate.

We appreciate that.. YB. Salute to you! While your other subordinate who didn't stand up can keep their finger crossed in next GE if they don't have proper explanation.
