00:00A DAP MP has taken a swipe at Barca Nacional, three of whose MPs missed the vote on the bill
00:06to limit the Prime Minister's tenure,
00:08which fell short of the two-thirds majority needed to pass in a day one rakyat yesterday.
00:14Barca MP Cha Ki Chin mocked BN's apparent aspirations to contest 115 parliamentary seats in the next general election,
00:23describing the plan as audacious when the coalition could not even control its 30 current MPs.
00:30He pointed out that even with just 30 MPs, BN failed to secure full attendance during a crucial vote requiring
00:37a two-thirds majority.
00:39In contrast, he said Pakatan Harapan, with 79 MPs, ensured all were present out of respect for the People's Mandate
00:46and support for institutional reforms.
00:49The constitutional amendment fell two votes short of the 148 needed, with Deputy Speaker Alice Lau later revealing that eight
00:57government MPs were absent.
00:59A source told FMT that those absent included Amnoz Hishamuddin Hussein and Suhaimi Nasir, as well as MIC Deputy President
01:07M. Sarabhanen.
01:09Cha challenged BN to contest all 222 parliamentary seats in G16, saying it was free to do so and should
01:16simply sign appointment letters for all its candidates.
