Show us draft of anti-hopping bill, says Bersatu man
JITRA: The government has been urged to share the final draft of a law to ban party hopping before it is tabled at Parliament.
Bersatu information chief Wan Saiful Wan Jan said all parties, including NGOs and academics, should be allowed to give their views on ways to improve the bill.
“Currently, we all agree with the bill without knowing what is in the final draft,” he said. “We have experts from NGOs, we have academic experts, everyone should be given the opportunity to improve any weaknesses.”
The government has postponed the tabling of the anti-hopping bill, originally scheduled to be tabled in the Dewan Rakyat on April 11, after differences of opinion among Cabinet members.
