The Senallang Assemblyman added it was needless for elected representatives to jump parties, especially those who do so to chase bigger positions.
Shafie, who is also Semporna MP and a former Chief Minister, stressed the importance of implementing the anti-hop law which has long been delayed, in order to prevent political instability in Sabah and align the State Government with the Federal Government. “If the State Government does not want to present it, I will do it. The Private Bill is ready and I will bring it to the next DUN sitting,” he said, after a breaking of fast ceremony at the Masjid Jamek Likas, Saturday.
He said it was ironic that the State collected RM7 billion in revenue as well as investments worth RM33 billion, yet many Sabahans today are still feeling the pinch. “We want to see financial matters managed appropriately. We hear of the money, but at the grassroots we still do not experience this wealth,” he said.
