Karpal said such a law would need either a constitutional amendment or a review of a 1992 Federal Court ruling. — File pic
He said this was necessary as Article 10 (1)(c) of the Federal Constitution would have to be amended first to enable an anti-hopping law to be enacted.
“To bring in the anti-hopping law, you have to amend Article 10 (1)(c), which says there is right of association including the right to join or leave a party,” he told a press conference here today.
He said the Penang government was looking at enacting an anti-hopping law in November but it would be unconstitutional unless there was a change in the Federal Constitution.
To make the (anti-hopping) law constitutional, he said there must be either a change to Article 10 (1)(c) or bring up to the Federal Court to review its 1992 decision whereby it decided that an anti-hopping law enactment passed by the Kelantan state assembly was unconstitutional. — Bernama
