Anti-hopping bill good start, but doesn’t address money politics: Anwar

KUALA LUMPUR – Although the tabling of the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2022 is a good start, it does not make it compulsory for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to investigate allegations of money politics, which could lead to party hopping, said opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (Port Dickson-PH).

Debating the bill in the lower House today, the PKR president also pressed the anti-graft body on the apparent lack of investigations into allegations of corruption in politics.

“There must be something wrong, if not, why would there be an amendment?

“This is a matter about the dignity and integrity of MPs. They have promised the people, then they ‘change’ (party hop) because of money and positions.
