: The Constitution Bill that prohibits Members of Parliament from switching parties will be presented to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah for approval soon.
“After receiving the royal assent, the bill will be returned to the Legal Affairs Division and the Attorney-General’s Chamber to be formatted and the new bill format will again be presented to His Majesty for a second approval,“ he told a press conference here today. This will allow all the state legislative assemblies to amend their State’s Constitutions, by including the provisions prohibiting members from switching parties, to be in line with the Eighth Schedule of the Federal Constitution as approved in the Dewan Rakyat and Dewan Negara.
“We are afraid that a difference in wordings will give rise to conflicting interpretation between the federal and state laws, he said.
