Sleepless nights in race to attain two-thirds majority


PETALING JAYA: The country’s de facto Law Minister is having sleepless nights, staying awake till 4am or 5.30am every morning as he knows he is in a race against time to ensure a two-thirds majority is obtained in the Dewan Rakyat to end party-hopping.

“It is a heavy responsibility and I have been having sleepless nights, and then waking up very early in the morning just thinking about it (party-hopping),” Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar (pic) told The Star yesterday.
