KUALA LUMPUR, July 27 — The proposed law against party hopping should prohibit elected representatives from contesting in the by-elections triggered by their defections, said...

Wednesday, 27 Jul 2022 8:48 PM MYT

“I suggest that those who jump are not allowed to compete in the by-election. But it seems that what we want to amend is that we will allow those who jumped to compete again. “For example, Dewan Rakyat members cannot use more than RM200,000 . So, he has to return the RM200,000 to his party so that they think twice before jumping,” he said.

The former prime minister said that had the law existed during the so-called “Sheraton Move” in 2020, he might still be the prime minister “I believe that no one will refuse this Act. Those who do not support this Act, we must beware. Don’t elect them again, they like to jump,” he said.“We are in a conundrum, where the trust of the people in the political institution, politicians and political leaders are on an all time low.
