Experts: Constitutional amendment ensures all aspects of legislation are complied with


KUALA LUMPUR: The decision not to table the Anti-Party Hopping Bill at the Special Meeting of the Dewan Rakyat this Monday (April 11) to make way for the tabling of a constitutional amendment reflects the government's meticulousness, according to constitutional and law experts.

They are of the view that the move to prioritise amendment to the Federal Constitution involving enactment of an enabling clause under Article 10 to allow a new act prohibiting MPs from switching parties, does not mean the government is playing tug of war.
