KOTA KINABALU: The Gabungan Rakyat Sabah-led state government has dismissed accusations that it is purposely delaying the tabling of the anti-hopping law to facilitate crossovers from the state Opposition.
Its secretary-general Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun said he believed that the Anti-hopping Bill would be tabled in the Sabah state assembly meeting in March.
On Wednesday, Parti Warisan president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal said in Parliament that Sabah must implement the anti-party hopping law to stop crossovers through the enticement of assemblymen. GRS’s partners – Sabah Pakatan Harapan and Parti Bersatu Sabah – have also been calling for the Bill to be tabled in line with the anti-hopping law under the Federal Constitution.
That law was repealed in 1994, when Barisan Nasional took over the state government after the PBS-led government under Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan collapsed due to a spate of defections. Norazlinah, together with Mohammad Mohamarin and Chong Chen Bin , quit Warisan on Feb 6 and announced their support for Hajiji, saying, however, that they would remain independent.
