KOTA KINABALU: There is no requirement to obtain a royal assent in order to table the anti-party hopping Bill in the Sabah state legislative assembly, says state Opposition leader Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal.

The Parti Warisan president said the law should only be presented to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and Head of State (TYT) for their consent once the state assembly voted in favour of the Bill.
