For the first time in history, visitors are barred from our Parliament House. Before this, I think, there was a limit of 5 visitors per MP which works out to 1,110 visitors on paper. But realistically, it is difficult to get even a full attendance of the 222 MPs, let alone expecting them to bring 5 visitors each on a particular day.
Sometimes, we cannot take things for granted, like attending a Parliamentary session, which recently we were told, anybody can visit. Just when I was about to suggest to my daughter to visit Parliament House for the first time, this new ruling came about because of the Pakatan motion of No Confidence.
Having read the latest headlines from Malaysiakini,
'Roadblocks set up amid protests fears'
updated 6.50pm Police have also obtained a court order to arrest on sight if Anwar Ibrahim and opposition supporters are spotted within five kilometres of Parliament.MORE

Claim threatens Anwar's political future
Anwar barred from Parliament tomorrow ;
it appears that it was because Anwar is officially barred from the august house! Obviously, BN is not taking any chances with this No Confidence motion – on the one hand, dismissing it, while on the other, expecting in case the unexpected happens – a clear case of being paranoid.

To a layman, it means BN is prepared for the 'worst case' scenario.

I suggest government... because nobody has ever been caught.
