INTERVIEW Parliament will soon be voting on Budget 2016, an event which could decide the fate of embattled Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

However, veteran opposition lawmaker Lim Kit Siang is not so confident that the budget will be shot down, and he is not sure the vote of no confidence tabled by the opposition will succeed.

"I'm not optimistic about it. I don't think it is likely [...] but we should leave the possibility (of it succeeding) open," he told Malaysiakini at his office at the DAP headquarters on Friday.
