COMMENT | In reference to the Malaysian Bar Council’s proposal that the government refine the anti-hopping law amid the political turmoil in Sabah after four MPs defected from the state Bersatu, you cannot end party-hopping here by tightening the law.
The Sabah state assembly should allow a vote of confidence to be tabled and settle it once and for all.
If Chief Minister Hajiji Noor survives...
RM80m allegedly went missing from a state GLC. So, heads rolled. The RM80m scandal will be in court soon. The people in Sabah can get back the money if civil action is filed. The money can be frozen, seized and forfeited by the state. The alleged thief/thieves will end up poor again. That's the worst form of punishment. Criminal suit can be instituted if the civil action is challenged.
