We have viewed the suggestion to seek consent from various state governments and heads of state before enforcing the anti-party hopping law as a good proposal because it would be appropriate to refer to Sarawak as one of the three regions that formed Malaysia. I have mentioned this to our media friends recently and anything to do with an important decision like that, we need to get consent from other regions since Malaysia was formed by three regions. Do not bulldoze (any major decision). I was asked to comment on Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Parliament and Law) Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar’s remarks on Sunday that a suggestion had been made for the anti-party hopping Bill to be first granted consent by state governments and the respective heads of state before being enforced.
I believed YB Dato Sri Wan Junaidi must have discussed the matter with Premier of Sarawak Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg before bringing it up. On whether this issue would be deliberated during the forthcoming State Legislative Assembly (DUN) sitting next month, it will be debated and deliberated if it is going to be in the form of a Bill. The second meeting of the first session of the 19th DUN will be held on May 17 to 26 and there's no telling if the anti-party hopping issue would be one of the Bills. The coming sitting is scheduled to be officiated at by Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud.
