Anwar appealed to allies to let budget pass first vote, vows fight at committee stage

PKR president Anwar Ibrahim said he had appealed to Amanah president Mohamad Sabu and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng not to proceed with a bloc vote on Budget 2021 today.

This is as he did not want to be seen as rejecting new incentives announced by Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz.
