Motion to refer Anwar to privilege committee passed

2015-09-11 1

Motion against Anwar passed after short five-minute speech by Nazri Abdul Aziz (Umno-Padang Rengas). Opposition MPs stage walkout even before voice vote is called.

Anwar told reporters that the opposition had no choice but to walk out because the motion was defective.

"If we stood back and voted, we would have legitimised it," he said.
