AN anti-party hopping bill will be tabled at the Malacca state assembly sitting slated for the end of this month, Chief Minister Ab Rauf Yusoh said. 

He said the bill aimed at preventing state assemblymen from party-hopping. 

“This is in line with the law passed at the Dewan Rakyat and the decision made by the top leadership. 

“So, Malacca will follow suit and the bill on anti-party hopping will be tabled at the next state assembly sitting,” he told reporters today. 

Ab Rauf, who is also Malacca Umno liaison committee chairman, said Malacca Umno is prepared to assist the Negri Sembilan election machinery to face elections, especially in bordering constituencies. 

“I have yet to get the details on how many state constituencies are there in Negri Sembilan, but among the areas that we can help are in the bordering constituencies such as Rembau, Tampin, Gemenceh, Linggi, Port Dickson, Teluk Kemang, and Seremban,” he said. – Bernama, July 4, 2023.
