Party Hopping - PR to BN, or Vice Versa

I wonder if Musa shares Anifah viewpoint that Sabah is like living in a nice bunglow but living next door to a toilet. Since the two are bothers, surely there are substance to believe that the two might have been conspiring to get what they want. Their "demand" is seen as putting more pressure on federal to release more development funds to the state - faster. Are they playing the "good guy & bad guy" show?

By the way, the political status quo should remain as it is for the sake of the nation. With 5 states and denial of BN with 2/3 majority, it is almost perfect to benefit the rakyat. PR has to show that they could run a government; as contrary to BN claim. BN has to learn being opposition whilst PR has to learn being government.

The recent call by PR for those elected to change their allegiance is unethical and harmful to the country, internally or externally.

YBs were elected on their particular platform which the voters decided to appoint, surely then, it’s only fair that they consult the people again out of ethic, and respect.

Don’t give the lame excuse that they could get away from the hopping if they crossed to the “right” party. There’s no such thing as the “right” party when it comes to party hopping, either side that you join, you’re still guilty of the sin.

An honest and sincere politician should resign their seat if losing faith in their existing platform and leaving the seat available for suitable candidate to fill. In fact, hopping by elected YB is an act of coward. Hopping in Sabah was a normal phenomenon twenty years ago. Hopping was “endorsed” by the people, but it is different today. People understand the issue better and do not want to be fooled again and again by those sub-standard politicians out to make a quick fortune for themselves. Bearing in mind, some of the elected representatives were not chosen because of their personal quality but rather, based on the party they belong.
