KUALA LUMPUR, March 24 — The Barisan Nasional has lost its moral ground to remain in government, Umno lawmaker Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz said today.
The Padang Rengas MP said the ruling coalition lost its edge after its motion to extend a controversial clause in the Security Offences Act 2012 that allows for detention without trial was defeated during yesterday’s bloc vote in Parliament. “In my view, it's difficult for us to stand here today to run the government because we have lost the moral ground and lost the motion,” he said in the Dewan Rakyat while debating a Bill to amend the Federal Constitution.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin who is from Bersatu had yesterday tabled a motion to extend Sub-section 4 of Sosma, which allows for a 28-day detention period, for another five years starting July 17, 2022.

It is not BN, but their MPs who were late or absent! BN had the numbers
