KUALA LUMPUR – Labelling the recent Melaka polls as an election that should not have happened, Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz (Padang Rengas-BN) took the opportunity to call for an anti-party hopping legislation.
He told the Dewan Rakyat at the Budget 2022 committee stage that the state election was not welcomed by the people, given that the pandemic is ongoing and the government is attempting to push for economic recovery.
“But irresponsible politicians with selfish intentions started a move that saw the fall of the (state) government.
“The people hate politicians like this – they put their self-interests first, not the people’s interest.
“The political profession is one that is heavily criticised by the people.”
