Opposition MP support for PM does not violate Anti-Party Hopping Act, says Azalina


KUALA LUMPUR: The action of several Members of Parliament (MPs) from the opposition bloc in pledging their support to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and the Unity Government recently does not violate the Anti-Party Hopping or the Constitution (Amendment) Act (No.3) 2022 (Act A1663), says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said (pic).

The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) said it was because all the MPs pledged their support without quitting their political parties.
