Introduction of anti-hopping law will depend on how Penang deals with four reps who switched parties, says Takiyuddin

KUALA LUMPUR: The introduction of any anti-hopping law will be dependent on how the Penang state government deals with the four assemblymen who switched parties, says Law Minister Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan (pic).

Takiyuddin said many lawmakers have suggested the need to have an anti-hopping law in the country but that however contradicts Article 10 (1)(c) of the Federal Constitution that guarantees Malaysians have the freedom of association.
