Malaysian Bar president Salim Bashir says anti-hopping laws are crucial in ensuring political stability and public confidence in the democratic process. FMTNews DewanRakyat

Party-hopping, whether in the state assembly or Dewan Rakyat, should be outlawed, says Bar president Salim Bashir.

Bar Council president Salim Bashir said the Bar believed that party-hopping was unethical and should be avoided to uphold Malaysia’s democracy. Anti-hopping laws would be crucial to ensure political stability while preventing the electoral decision from being undermined. Salim said politicians who change parties after being elected to the state assembly or Dewan Rakyat would be betraying the people’s trust.
