Anti-Hopping Laws The Solution To Political Crisis?

Feb 27, 2020

Anti-hopping laws could be the best solution for our country's current political situation.

Political Analyst Dr. Oh Ei Sun says this would be able to minimise the formation of a backdoor government...

"Namely MPs if they are elected under the umbrella of a certain party they could not just jump to another party without losing their parliamentary seat, or even be barred from been elected for 5 years or 10 years."

This is after some accused Datuk Seri Azmin Ali of working with PAS, UMNO and certain members of Bersatu to form a new government.

In fact, Political Analyst Prof Dr Sivamurugan Pandian told us there may be some truth in this... as Azmin could be one of the reasons PH collapsed...

"He's put his future at stake and also I strongly believe that whatever decisions he makes after this will also decide his political career. Although many say that he may become one of the choices of the next Prime Minister or DPM, I think at this moment, the PM would want to look at many options because there are many others who are looking at taking over the government"

With that being said, interim PM, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in a speech yesterday confirmed speculation that he wanted to form a unity government, saying the new administration will focus on national interests instead of political parties.

Malaysians can expect a major announcement soon to address all political uncertainties as yesterday was the last day the Yang DiPertuan Agong interviewed the country's lawmakers.

The Sabah CM's office, meanwhile, has confirmed that Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal had an audience with the Agong yesterday, leaving only UMNO's Padang Rengas MP Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz, as the only one yet to meet the King.
