Parties made aware of loopholes in anti-hop law before its passage, says Wan Junaidi

PETALING JAYA: Tan Sri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar says that despite the anti-party hopping law's perceived shortcomings, all parties, including Perikatan Nasional, acknowledged and accepted it at its passage.

The former law minister told Astro Awani that when the bill was drafted, he had insisted on including a clause that MPs would automatically vacate their seat if they went against the stand of their respective parties in the dewan Rakyat but this was later removed.
