“As part of our pledge to reform politics in the state, we will introduce an anti-party-hopping bill as our first agenda of the day as soon as we won. This is the pledge that will promise to execute if given the mandate,’’ he said during a press conference after launching the BN manifesto here today.
Similarly, Hasni stated that BN also wishes to address voter malapportionment by redrawing electoral borders or redelination to ensure fair representation.
However, Hasni mentioned that this process would be much easier if BN were given an ⅔ majority vote in the election.
“We are aware of the issue where hundreds of thousands of voters are represented by only one assemblyman. To ensure effective service to the people, if given ⅔ majority, we will propose for a redelineation process to be done,’’ he said.
Among the pledge that was introduced, today is for the Johor state government to provide an equal RM200,000 to all 56 state assemblymen regardless of party allegiances.
BN's manifesto today centres around five main pillars, which is economic revival, people’s welfare, prioritising the youth of Johor, principled governance and political reforms that is solely aimed to create a stable administration.
