Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah State Assembly has the power to enact its own anti-party hopping law, says the Sabah Law Society (SLS).

However, its President Roger Chin, said it should be consistent with the recently approved federal Anti-Hopping Bill.

“In theory, Sabah can have its own laws, but in reality, it cannot stray too far from the federal anti-hopping law under the Constitution,” he said.
