KOTA KINABALU: Sabah, a state where party hopping has seen the rise and fall of state governments over five decades, must adopt the anti-crossover laws into the constitution, says Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili.
The Parti Bersatu Sabah president said the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah-led state government must pass the state’s Anti-Hopping Law within 60 days.
Ongkili said it was necessary for the Sabah and Sarawak state assemblies to follow suit as the Federal anti-hopping law did not apply to the two states.Describing the passing of the law as a"dream come true," Ongkili, who is Kota Marudu MP, said PBS had been pushing it for the last 37 years. The enactment was repealed from the state constitution in 1995 when Barisan Nasional took over the state government.
"We were lonely in this struggle, but now all our hard work paid off,” said the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department . But, the assemblymen crossed back in a bid led by former chief minister Tan Sri Musa Aman to retake the state government.
