A govt of ‘frogs’ won’t investigate party hoppers, says Shahrir

PETALING JAYA: A government made up of “frogs” was unlikely to investigate party hopping by politicians, says Umno veteran Shahrir Samad.

He was referring to comments made by outgoing inspector-general of police Abdul Hamid Bador, who had expressed his desire to see the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigate party defectors.

“The Perikatan Nasional (PN) government would not want to investigate political ‘frogs’,” Shahrir said in a Facebook post, using a common term levelled at those who “hop” between parties.

Yesterday, Hamid took aim at politicians saying that MACC needs to conduct an investigation into those, especially elected representatives, who quit their party to support another.
