KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 18 — The ruling Gabungan Rakyat Sabah government is not purposely dragging its feet in coming up with legislation that effectively bans state lawmakers from switching parties mid-term, its secretary-general Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun said.

Masidi, who is also Sabah finance minister, rejected the claims by GRS political rivals that the delay was to entice Opposition assemblymen to switch sides. He pointed out that Sabah is due to have its state election in the next two years, and said the anti-party hopping law should be in place before that.
