The Johor government did not reject the anti-party hopping enactment as claimed by several parties. Instead, it only rejected the proposed formation of a special select committee to carry out a study on the enactment.
Menteri Besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi said this was because all parties at the state government level do not want the state assemblypersons to switch parties.
“But the opposition wants to set up a committee because they want to mislead the rakyat to make it look like the state government does not want the anti-party hopping (enactment).
“This is very irresponsible,” he said at the opening of the Johor Media Club 2021/2022 annual general meeting in Johor Bahru last night.
Onn Hafiz said the decision to reject the proposed discussions to form the committee was justified as the anti-party hopping law had already been gazetted at the federal level.
Yesterday, Johor State Legislative Assembly speaker Mohd Puad Zarkashi was reported to have said that it had rejected a motion to discuss the proposed formation of a special select committee to carry out a study on the anti-party hopping enactment in the state.
