[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – The Dewan Rakyat is set to convene for a special sitting next month specifically to deliberate on the proposed anti-party hopping bill, confirming rumours that it will be postponed beyond the current sitting.

Newly appointed DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke Siew Fook said this was confirmed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob in a meeting held with Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) top leaders in Parliament today.

Apart from Loke, the others present were Amanah president Mohamad Sabu and PKR secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, the latter representing party president and opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

“The prime minister has given his commitment that the bill will be tabled and debated in the Dewan Rakyat through a special sitting during the coming month of Ramadan,” he said in a Facebook post.
