Shafie (seated, centre) says it is high time to fine-tune Malaysia’s anti-party hopping law.

KOTA KINABALU: Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal believes it is high time for a review of the anti-party hopping law in the wake of several Perikatan Nasional MPs changing their political support but without leaving their party.

The Parti Warisan president said these actions could be considered “defections” although the representatives had not switched parties.
