The immorality of party-hopping

IN Malaysian politics we have reached a state of moral crisis where the electoral mandate of the people has been taken for granted by self-serving politicians.

It was hoped that a new dawn would emerge with PH in power, which would bring about changes that would enhance electoral integrity, but unfortunately the coalition was held hostage by power play and ethnic politics, which had all flavours of racism instead of the common good. There should have been more focus on maruah rakyat than maruah melayu.

Formulating an anti-hopping law would require passing constitutional hurdles. Article 48 and Part I of the Eight Schedule of the federal constitution do not state that party-hopping will lead to an MP or state assemblyman being disqualified.
