When asked on the Sabah Anti -Party Hopping Bill, Bung said he was eager for the bill to tabled at the state assembly.
“We are waiting earnestly as before this bill, there have been many incidences of people hopping from one party to another,” he said.
On Wednesday, Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) deputy security-general Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said The Anti-Party Hopping Bill required a comprehensive study that was time-consuming, and therefore was a bit delayed.
He said various procedures had been implemented to enable the Bill to be tabled at the Sabah state assembly meeting this time around.
"What actually is being done in Sabah is for us to look at the provisions of the law approved at the Federal level... So we need to ensure that there is balance not only in terms of the parties but also the wishes and voice of the people.” he was reported as saying
