PETALING JAYA: The passage of an anti-hopping law in Parliament will restore public confidence in the electoral system and give voters a reason to come out in full force at the 15th general election, electoral reform group Bersih said.

It said law minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar and Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob must table the proposed bill in the upcoming Parliament session and ensure that it becomes law after considering the inputs of MPs, civil society organisations and the public.

Is the govt stalling on anti-hopping law, asks MP

PETALING JAYA: Law minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar’s claim that a lack of consensus on the definition of “anti-hopping” makes it difficult to draft a law against it reeks of the government stalling on its promise, a DAP leader said today.

Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh said there was no other explanation for the government not following through with its promise to draw up an anti-hopping law in accordance with the memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the opposition last year.
