Speaker’s decision not in spirit of anti-party hopping law, says group

THE Dewan Rakyat speaker’s decision to allow six former Bersatu MPs to keep their seats after they were fired by their party could encourage more more violations of the anti-party hopping law, a rights group warned today.

Tindak Malaysia director Danesh Prakash Chacko said Speaker Johari Abdul should instead have followed the decision of the Kelantan assembly speaker, who had vacated the Nenggiri seat held by one of the six former Bersatu members.
