GE15: Indie candidate’s move to join KDM before polling day raises questions over anti-hopping law


KOTA KINABALU: A little-known independent candidate in Sabah's interior Tenom seat for the 15th General Election will be creating a debate on the newly-enacted anti-hopping law if he wins in the general election.

Riduan Rubin's move to join Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (KDM) six days after filing his nomination papers as an Independent on Nov 5 has raised questions whether the anti-hopping law would apply to someone who crossed the floor before the Nov 19 polling day.
