Home Minister Hamzah Zainudin today expressed disappointment with several backbenchers who failed to turn up for the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) vote on Wednesday.
“I was not very happy because some of them were already in the Dewan Rakyat, I can name those who just walked out during the bloc vote. That’s not fair,” said Hamzah, according to The Vibes.
Asked if the absentees explained themselves, Hamzah said: “The reason is they don’t like my face.”
There were 49 MPs who were missing from the crucial vote to allow the government to enforce a 28-day detention without trial period under Sosma for another five years after July 31.
