PARLIAMENT | AzalinaOthmanS said the voters should decide via referendum, whether or not an MP who has 'hopped' should be retained, or whether there should be a by-election.

| An anti-hopping law must give voters the power to decide the fate of MPs that have left their party, said Azalina Othman Said .

Describing what is in essence recall elections, Azalina said the voters should decide via referendum, whether or not an MP who has"hopped" should be retained, or whether there should be a by-election. "The law should give power to the people to decide whether or not to replace the hopper," she said while debating...

AzalinaOthmanS anti lompat parti ni kene detail. contoh mcm jemin tu. die c keluar pkr pon. die sokong belah sane je. tpi die kire dah langgar perlembagaan parti..so die dipecat. so kalau ikutkan die x literally lompat parti. guano tu

AzalinaOthmanS The voters are the kingmakers to decide who should be in office or to further continue as their representatives.

AzalinaOthmanS Support.

AzalinaOthmanS Here's a plausible suggestion. Strip an MP from their position once they choose to jump parties after an election is over.

AzalinaOthmanS No need referendum. No need by election. Dont waste rakyats funds. Just let the hoppers supreme council chose a replacement mp with someone from same party. So politicking kept to the minimum and so mp's can focus on nation building. Let mp's do what they are actually paid for.

AzalinaOthmanS Couldn't agree more.

AzalinaOthmanS No referendum please . Too cumbersome. Just make a by-election automatic the moment an MP hops over to another party or becomes independent.

AzalinaOthmanS There should be Bi-Elections in each case!

AzalinaOthmanS Potentially our first female PM .. why not.

AzalinaOthmanS What if the party hops?

AzalinaOthmanS I still feel once a MP hops, he must lose his seat. Whether he hops from one party to another, or becomes an independent MP. So just one step to elect a new MP. Otherwise 2 steps. Abilities to hop is antithesis to democracy and rakyat suffers !

AzalinaOthmanS I don't want to vote for katak.

AzalinaOthmanS Why is it only now you are speaking up against frogs? Why didn't you do so when BN recaptured Perak back in 2009? Bloody hypocrite!!

AzalinaOthmanS Well agreed on your recommendation.🙏👍

AzalinaOthmanS

AzalinaOthmanS Propose the law ASAP & put it in Fed Const and state const otherwise courts will say ultra vires by virtue of freedom of association. Then it will show how SINCERE MPs are on both sides to anti hopping. Ban 5 terms for frogs. Even NO senatorship to frogs.

AzalinaOthmanS For me, should have 4 ballot paper we need to use during the election. 1. ADN 2. Whether ADUN can hop or not 3. MP 4. Whether MP can hope or not 1 and 3 use first past the post 2 and 4 use majority answer

AzalinaOthmanS The law must void MP status who decides to hop to another party or become an independent. No carrying forward of MP status to another party. This will not add to total number of MP to form gov. Conduct a by-election to allow voters to re-elect a new MP.

AzalinaOthmanS Where there is a will, there is a way. This is long overdue & good that the initiative is coming from an UMNO MP - hope it will carry more weight & can be successfully pushed through. Power must be given to the constituents to decide on the fate of the 'katak.

AzalinaOthmanS Very good move! I hope the law could be pass soon, and even has retrospective effects from 2018 onwards!

AzalinaOthmanS Well done YB! For a long time we have waited for someone from the Govt. block to say something really smart & inspiring. Keep it up.

AzalinaOthmanS by election!!!great azalina. we voted BN, dia pegi phpbm plak. rugi vote saja

AzalinaOthmanS Referendum?! Just do a rough voting online

AzalinaOthmanS the reason party-hopping is so prevalent in the first place is because there's no fundamental difference in policy between any of the political parties since they're all based on ethnicity as the prevailing factor

AzalinaOthmanS I would suggest if MP jump ship, there should not be any additional seat gained to the new party, and MP will lost the right to contest for the next election at least for 2 terms. AzalinaOthmanS anwaribrahim IsmailSabri60 MYParlimen

AzalinaOthmanS I think it too cumbersome. First there will be referendum by voters. If voters decided the MP should not be retained, there will be by-election. The process should be short and simple.

AzalinaOthmanS Nice. Also impose a ban so that the frog be ban from any parliamentary or state seat for 3 elections.

No need for vote of confidence after MOU signed on bipartisanship, says Arau MPPETALING JAYA: There is no need to test Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob's majority as prime minister via a vote of confidence, because the Opposition already signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the government on bipartisanship, says Arau MP Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim. Mou indicate that?why so worries about vote of confidence? So now this mafia gangster-in-chief is spokesman-in-chief for his puppet prime minister Ismail Sabri. Who is prime minister now - this mafia gangster or Ismail Sabri? Wakil rakyat main ping pong amongst themselves. How about asking rakyat to vote? Not sure if we still trust our wakil rakyat in representing our interests.
