KUALA LUMPUR: Block voting was carried out in the Dewan Rakyat for the first time to allow part of the Supplementary Supply Bill 2007 to be passed after several Opposition members noted the lack of quorum in the House.

Deputy Speaker Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar called for block voting at about 11.45am on Wednesday when the debate on the contribution to the statutory funds of the Supplementary Supply (2007) Bill 2008 was about to be passed after it had reached the end of the committee stage during the debate.
