They are of the view that the move to prioritise amendment to the Federal Constitution involving enactment of an enabling clause under Article 10 to allow a new act prohibiting MPs from switching parties, does not mean the government is playing tug of war.
"If the decision of the case is adopted, then any law that contradicts the Federal Constitution will be said to be invalid. Therefore, if the government wants to introduce the Anti-Party Hopping Bill, the essence of which is to cause a member of Parliament to lose his seat, means they do not have freedom of association,” she told Bernama here on Saturday .
He said the government's correct move, however, needed to be expedited before the next general election. Meanwhile, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia Faculty of Syariah and Law lecturer Dr Intan Nadia Ghulam Khan said the steps taken by the government were the right ones for the sake of the country's political stability.
"We really hope that there will be an anti-hopping law because we have seen instability due to this factor," she said.
