The Dewan Rakyat has passed the International Trade and Industry Ministry's RM1.2 billion budget at the committee stage in a bloc vote with 110 votes in favour and 104 against. Six MPs were not present.
International Trade and Industry Minister Azmin Ali wrapped up the debate while his nemesis Anwar Ibrahim (Harapan-Port Dickson) was among those who took part in the vote.
Azmin was previously the PKR deputy president before quitting the party during the infamous Sheraton Move in February.
Losing to Azmin is a significant blow to Anwar, who is under pressure to prove that he has majority support in the Dewan Rakyat.
