Is your MP on the list? Ahead of Anti-Party Hopping Bill - superadmin - 03-31-2022 Is your MP on the list? Ahead of Anti-Party Hopping Bill, a look at reps who jumped ship since 2018 KUALA LUMPUR, March 31 — Today, the government and leaders from the Opposition Pakatan Harapan (PH) will meet to finalise the Anti-Party Hopping Bill that is hoped to be tabled in Parliament on April 11. The calls for such a law to regulate the movement of elected representatives have grown louder in recent months, especially as Malaysian politics went through a roller-coaster ride since the Barisan Nasional (BN) was replaced by PH in May 2018. Two changes in governments.
