Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Hannah Yeoh has singled out 28 BN and PAS MPs for trying to defeat her ministry's budget.
Yeoh said her ministry's budget is intended for, among others, disabled persons, the elderly and children.
"They are critical to communities that need help and cannot afford delays.
"But I was shocked to see MPs playing politics by voting against the budget for welfare," she told journalists at the Parliament lobby today.
On Tuesday night, the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry's budget was nearly defeated after opposition MPs, upon realising the thin numbers of government MPs, decided to pull off an ambush by asking for a bloc vote.
