No consensus on what defines anti-hopping, says Wan Junaidi - superadmin - 02-16-2022 PETALING JAYA: While it is imperative to have an anti-hopping law to ensure confidence and good governance, there is no consensus on the term “anti-hopping”, law minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said today. He said each political party may have their own definition of what it means and what it covers. “Is it simply hopping from one party to another or from one coalition to another? How about unregistered and independent members who were expelled from parties? Is that considered party-hopping?” he asked during an Agenda Awani segment on Stabilising Malaysia’s Democracy today. He pointed out that unless proper and adequate engagement on the issue with relevant stakeholders was held, it would be difficult to formulate an anti-hopping law. - More -
