The deputy speaker election on Monday resulted in an odd outcome where the two government candidates received a different number of votes.
Ramli Mohd Nor (BN-Cameron Highlands) had 148 votes while Alice Lau (Pakatan Harapan-Lanang) had 146.
It was initially assumed that two government MPs did not vote for Lau.
However, lawmakers speaking on condition of anonymity told Malaysiakini that they were reliably informed that two government MPs were actually absent during the deputy speaker election.
Meanwhile, the MP sources said they were informed by Parliament staff that the two extra votes for Ramli had come from Perikatan Nasional, although their identities were not revealed to the lawmakers.
