Today (11th October 2019), we witnessed the #Belanjawan2020 which was presented by our Finance Minister, Lim Guan Eng and quite honestly, we were very impressed with Lim’s ability to speak for a very long time – approximately two-and-a-half hours by our count. Even I got tired… for him. Phew!
But, you know who else got tired (for) Lim Guan Eng? Yep, the opposition parties.

In a short clipĀ which was shared by Hannah Yeah (Segambut MP) via Twitter, we saw that half-way through the presentation of Budget 2020, most of the opposition parties MP(s) weren’t in the hall anymore. Her tweet was accompanied by a caption which read,
“The #Belanjawan2020 is not even finished yet but half of UMNO and PAS’ members have left the Dewan.”
You can watch her tweet and video clip below:

Today, before the commencement of the Budget 2020 reading, the opposition MPs all arrived clad in white garments and Opposition chief Datuk Seri Ismail Yaakob said that it was simply a coincidence that they ended up wearing white. Plausible. I mean, we all tend to twin with our friends unexpectedly, right?Ā
Having said that, we don’t know for sure why have the Opposition MPs left the Dewan before even the #Budget2020 was completed. Perhaps, they needed a bathroom break? What say you? Fire away in the comments below!
