Define ‘party hopping’ clearly to prevent abuse of the law, say Muhyiddin and Shafie

KUALA LUMPUR: The definition of “party hopping” must be clear under the proposed law so it will not be used against MPs sacked by their respective parties for speaking the truth, says Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

Muhyiddin (PN-Pagoh) said there were concerns that, if the proposed Constitutional amendment to enable the anti-party hopping law is passed, an elected representative sacked by his party could lose the right to contest in an election for five years.
