"The law is here not to protect the party but the mandate of the people," he said while debating the Constitution Bill 2022, in the Dewan Rakyat on Monday ."Most of the time, they will form their own judgments in order to move forward," he said.“I support this Bill, but I hope that an exemption will be given to these independent MPs as their situation is different from MPs fielded by political parties," he noted.

A democracy does not need political parties to function. Our constitution reflects that clearly. If we change this, we also change the fundamental nature of how a democracy works. We must not embed party politics into our constitution.
