PAS welcomes DAP’s backing of anti-hopping law - superadmin - 09-01-2021 PETALING JAYA: PAS welcomes DAP’s willingness to support an anti-hopping law, which will require a constitutional amendment requiring two-thirds support in Parliament. Its information chief Kamaruzaman Mohamad said the party fundamentally agreed with the anti-hopping law, saying it would stabilise national politics. He said the Kelantan state assembly and the PAS-led state administration had also amended the state constitution and passed an anti-hopping law that came into force retrospectively since November 1990. “We’ve seen how this (party-hopping) can harm national politics. Under the current circumstances, PAS welcomes any cooperation to create a stable political environment, even with opposition parties,” he said according to a report by Berita Harian. Yesterday, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said his party was willing to work with the government to implement institutional reforms, particularly in amending the Constitution to enact an anti-party-hopping law. - More -
