Fahmi fears no-show by govt MPs on anti-hopping bill
PETALING JAYA: An opposition MP has expressed fears of retaliation by government MPs pulling a no-show against an opposition-backed bill to outlaw party-hopping by elected politicians.
Fahmi Fadzil of PKR said he fears that some MPs of the ruling coalition would pull support from the bill in retaliation for the recent parliamentary defeat of an extension of a controversial Sosma security law.
“When the anti-hopping bill is tabled in the Dewan Rakyat on April 11, they might do the same thing (as when Pakatan Harapan (PH) did not support Sosma),” he was quoted as saying in a China Press report.
