Table anti-hopping bill or we’ll take to the streets, says Mat Sabu

KUALA LUMPUR: Mohamad Sabu (PH-Kota Raja) has again urged the government to table the anti-hopping bill in today’s Dewan Rakyat meeting, warning that opposition members will take to the streets if Putrajaya fails to do so.

In debating the Supplementary Supply Bill (2021) 2022, the Amanah president said the nation’s political climate has been unstable ever since the Sheraton Move in 2020 which led to the fall of the Pakatan Harapan government.

This drove people to lose their trust in Malaysia’s parliamentary democracy, which Mohamad said was evidenced by the low voter turnouts in recent state elections.

“The people have lost confidence in the parliamentary democratic system and in elected representatives. To fix this, the tabling of the anti-hopping bill must be expedited.

“If the bill isn’t introduced in this Dewan Rakyat meeting, my friends and I will take to the streets to push for it.
