Anti-Hopping Bill needs further study

The Anti-Hopping Bill still requires further study, to prevent any issues from arising in the future.

PAS secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan says it’s because the term ‘party hopping’ itself is still unclear, among other issues that need further discussion.

He adds that a similar law must also be implemented at the state level to ensure it is enforced against state assemblymen.

This, ahead of the tabling of the Bill at a special sitting on April 11th.
