More studies into anti-hopping Bill


KAJANG: The anti-hopping Bill still needs more studies to ensure it is practical and to avoid unwanted incidents in the future, says Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin.

“The Cabinet has agreed to go ahead with the Act but we need to get even more details on it to avoid the abuse of power by party leaders,” the Home Minister told reporters after attending the 232nd Prisons Day ceremony yesterday.
