PETALING JAYA: The passage of an anti-hopping law in Parliament will restore public confidence in the electoral system and give voters a reason to come out in full force at the 15th general election, electoral reform group Bersih said.

It said law minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar and Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob must table the proposed bill in the upcoming Parliament session and ensure that it becomes law after considering the inputs of MPs, civil society organisations and the public.
