It was passed through a voice vote with backbenchers shouting out their support for Anwar while the opposition remained silent.

They did not ask for a bloc vote or for members to indicate their support for Anwar.

Earlier, the motion was tabled by deputy prime minister Fadillah Yusof.

After being appointed to the top post, Anwar had pledged to table a motion of confidence in the Dewan Rakyat to prove his majority in Parliament.
