GE15: Perak has left door open for 'frogs' to jump, claims Nga

IPOH: Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad's refusal to table the anti-party hopping law before dissolving the legislative assembly shows the door has been left open for elected representatives to switch parties, says Nga Kor Ming

"I have written to Saarani twice to hold a special sitting on the anti-hopping law.

"We were supposed to have a sitting on Sept 20 but it was cancelled," the state DAP chairman told a press conference here on Monday (Oct 17).
