MELAKA – The anti-party hopping bill will be tabled at the Melaka assembly sitting slated for the end of this month, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh said.
He said the bill aimed at preventing assemblymen from party-hopping.
“This is in line with the law passed at the Dewan Rakyat and the decision made by the top leadership.
“So, Melaka will follow suit and the bill on anti-party hopping will be tabled at the next state assembly sitting,” he said told reporters after observing the implementation of the “No Right Turn” initiative and the traffic flow at the Hang Jebat Stadium junction of the Sg Udang-Paya Rumput-Ayer Keroh highway here today.
Meanwhile, Rauf, who is also Melaka Umno liaison committee chairman, said Melaka Umno is prepared to assist the Negri Sembilan election machinery to face the upcoming state polls, especially in bordering constituencies.
“I have yet to get the details on how many state constituencies are there in Negri Sembilan, but among the areas that we can help are in the bordering constituencies such as Rembau, Tampin, Gemenceh, Linggi, Port Dickson, Teluk Kemang and Seremban,” he said. – Bernama, July 4, 2023
