Want anti-hopping law? Vacate these four state seats first, law minister tells Penang Pakatan

Monday, 10 Aug 2020 05:08 PM MYTThe Kota Baru MP from PAS noted that Penang is the only state government to have an anti-hopping law and should test it in court to show how it could be implemented at the federal level. — Bernama pic

“So if the Opposition MPs really want this anti-party hopping law, and only Penang has amended their state Constitution to include an anti-party hopping law, I suggest to make the four state seats vacant. Last month, Takuyiddin told Parliament that the Perikatan Nasional government does not plan to introduce laws that would prevent elected officials from party “hopping”.

“So let’s wait for Penang to vacate these state seats, let the court decide, and then only we will study how to bring about an anti-party hopping law,” he said.
