No need for threats to push for anti-party hopping law, Shafie tells DAP

KOTA KINABALU – There is no need for DAP to threaten the federal government with an end to the current political ceasefire in a bid to expedite the anti-party hopping law, as there is already wide support for the proposed legislation, Warisan president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal said today.

Yesterday, outgoing DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the Pakatan Harapan (PH) pact and the Umno-led federal administration would be “finished and ended” if there was no progress in the anti-party hopping bill.

Shafie said many political parties and MPs have already voiced support for the government to push ahead with the proposed bill, as the nation’s democratic system has been tainted by political turncoats.

“There was no need to issue any threats. There must be consensus,” he told reporters during a press conference here today.
