The government's short order of business in the Dewan Rakyat today presented the opposition with a rare opportunity to have a private motion heard and debated.

And its lawmakers were not going to let the government take that opportunity away from them without a fight.

While the private motion by Shahidan Kassim (Perikatan Nasional-Arau) on border CCTVs may not appear to be of any significance, it is important to understand that private motions or private member's bills rarely get heard in the Dewan Rakyat.

The government sought to deny the opposition this opportunity by moving their own motion for the Dewan Rakyat proceedings today to end after the two bills are debated and passed.

Such motions are usually passed with barely any resistance during a voice vote but the opposition had other plans in mind - forcing the Dewan Rakyat to hold a bloc vote to decide on the matter.

The gambit, however, failed as the opposition was defeated 83-52.
