Anti-party hopping law should be in force by mid-September, says Wan Junaidi


KUALA LUMPUR: Constitutional amendments to prohibit Members of Parliament (MP) from switching parties are expected to be enforced in the middle of September at the latest, says Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.

The Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Parliament and Law) said this was consistent with the timeline set out on the tabling and approval of the Bill to amend the Federal Constitution, which requires the consent of Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah.
