All PH reps to back anti-hopping bill

PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan has given Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob the assurance that all its MPs will back the tabling of the anti-hopping bill on April 11.

The PH presidential council said this was conveyed to the prime minister in a meeting today.

“The prime minister also gave his commitment that there will be no changes to the special Dewan Rakyat sitting scheduled for April 11,” they said in a joint statement.

The PH leaders also said opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim had raised the issue of the MySejahtera application being allegedly owned by a foreign company and that it needed clarification in Parliament.

The joint statement was signed by Anwar, who is also the PKR president, Amanah president Mohamad Sabu, DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook and Upko president Wilfred Madius Tangau.

Previously, Loke had said the anti-hopping bill would be tabled in a special Dewan Rakyat sitting in the month of Ramadan.

In the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between PH and Putrajaya last year, the anti-hopping bill was supposed to be tabled in the first Dewan Rakyat meeting of this year, which ended last month. — Free Malaysia Today
