PETALING JAYA: Deliberations on the proposed anti-hopping law (AHL) by the parliamentary select committee (PSC) should be made public, said electoral reform group Bersih.

Urging the committee to end the “secrecy culture” in law-making, Bersih reminded it that the involvement of the public was necessary because the laws affected them.

“Bersih urges the committee on the anti-hopping bill to inform and involve the public so that the resultant bill will meet the public’s expectation and necessary compromises will enjoy public support,” the Bersih steering committee said in a statement.

The group also called on the committee to not apply laws such as the Official Secrets Act to restrict legislative deliberations and obstruct the public’s knowledge about the bill’s progress.
