## Reactions

* Maria Chin Abdullah - The Bersih chairperson urged all opposition MPs to vote down the government's 2016 budget to oust Prime Minister Najib Razak.
* Pandikar Amin Mulia - The Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat said the opposition should submit a list of MPs willing to support a motion of no confidence against the Prime Minister to establish if the move had enough traction for a debate. Pandikar also said the list would give him leverage to pressure Putrajaya to agree to having the motion tabled and debated, especially if the numbers go beyond the 89 seats occupied by the opposition.
* Shahrir Abdul Samad - The Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club (BNBBC) chairman said if the budget, to be tabled by Najib, failed to be passed in the Dewan Rakyat, the prime minister would automatically have to relinquish his post. "If the budget is not passed, there is no government, no finances. How will the government carry out its administration without paying salaries and allocations?", Shahrir said.
