KUALA LUMPUR, June 21 — Calls for recall elections have been growing in Malaysia in the past 15 months since the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan government, triggered by the exit of several of MPs from PKR and Bersatu who then made a new pact and formed a new ruling coalition.
“In a job contract, the employer and employee can both decide to end the contract by serving notice on the other party. “With recall elections, we can actually put some limitations where voters will have some power to punish their incumbent lawmakers,” Wong said. “Recall elections are not a science, it's more like an art... you have to design it as such. A certain percentage of voters' signatures will be needed to institute a recall election, we have to determine that percentage.
He said elected representatives who parted ways with such “rogue” parties should not be disqualified as such. “The voters concerned should never vote for this kind of politician. I think that is the best law we can have so that it will not happen again,” he toldAzmi believes that party-hoppers are “unique” to Malaysia, saying he has not heard of a similar phenomenon in other democratic countries.
I would think that for any elected MP who frog to another party or group of parties , his or her position as Mp status is automatically consider terminated , for him to be an MP again he will have to recontest that constituent .thus, it is fair to both side of the electorate
