KOTA KINABALU: Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) has no objection to tabling the anti-hopping bill at the State Legislative Assembly (Dun) and further discussions are needed for this to happen, said the coalition's secretary-general Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun.
Masidi, who is also State Local Government and Housing Minister, said obviously GRS component party leaders will need to sit down and discuss the matter but is positive the move to table the bill will be accommodated.
He said the anti-hopping bill can establish stability in governing the state and it is good for Sabah politics.
“It is a question of when (to table the bill), whether we need to have a special session just for this or perhaps we want to consider having it passed during the budget session in either November or December, we have no problem as far as (the state) government is concerned.
“But I can’t say for sure because I’m not the (DUN) Speaker, I can’t decide which agenda has to be decided (in DUN sitting), but what I’m saying is that obviously, we have no objection to that purpose (to table the bill),” he told reporters here today.
