Fireworks from Anwar in Parliament tomorrow! (ref. malaysiakini)

Tomorrow Parliament will reopen after the one month Hari Raya holidays. It will also mark the first session after the 16th of September pledge by Anwar Ibrahim.

Anwar has indicated that he has enough MPs to crossover to form the federal government. If this is indeed the case, tomorrow will be one of the most crucial parliamentary sessions in the history of Malaysia.

However, no motion of no confidence has been filed. Instead, what will occur tomorrow is the Budget 2009 debate. Led by Anwar, who is renouned for his economic powress, the opposition will have their first chance to attack the Budget in parliament. Anwar is the first speaker of the day, followed by Penang CM Lim Guan Eng.

It will also be the first time that Najib will be addressing the parliament defending the budget as the Finance Minister. Lets see how Najib, an economist by profession holds his ground.

While no no confidence motion has actually been filed, Anwar did hint at something special occuring tomorrow. Looks at Malaysiakini's report:

Asked whether a Pakatan take-over would happen by the end of the year, he replied: "Why should we wait for so long? It will happen soon... very soon."

"Expect some fireworks on Monday," he cryptically added - malaysiakini.com
