KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 – The amendment to the Constitution (Amendment) Act (No. 3) 2022 (Act A1663), better known as the anti-party hopping law, requires thorough bipartisan discussion and agreement.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform), Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said, said that the Legal Affairs Division has no problem and is ready to propose amendments to the act, as stated by Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, on Friday.
“Now the government has agreed to look at that (amendment). There should not be any problem if the Prime Minister directs me in the Cabinet meeting to bring a note in terms of the new policy, I’m prepared,” she told reporters when met at the Parliament building, here, today.
On Friday, Anwar reportedly said that the government is open to holding discussions to fix any loopholes.
