Govt will implement anti-party hopping law, but yet to decide if it should be a criminal offence, says law minister


KUALA LUMPUR: The proposed anti-party hopping law will be enacted eventually, but the government has yet to decide to make it a criminal offence for MPs to party-hop, says Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar (pic).

"The government's stand is that this law will be implemented, but whether or not it becomes an offence if MPs party hop, it depends on the draft of the Bill," said the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department during his winding-up speech at the Royal Address on Thursday (Sept 23).
