In replying to writer's questions :-

1) If MP are not jumping, how can the government or the party leader sacked them ?
2) Well, prior to confidence vote, MPs have to declare their standing and if they wanted to shift/jump to another party, under the anti hopping law they have to resign from their positions which i think is an effective way of stopping MP from
jumping.
3) MPs should not jump from one political party to another as rakyat voted the said MPs was based on the then political party's background and standings. If MPs switched to another party, the background and standings already changed, it is against the voters aspirations/mandate and this is akin to the basic understanding of the voters had been breached by the MPs.

Nevertheless, the below points are more crucial :-
1) MPs are elected by the rakyats should carry the aspirations and wishes of the rakyat.
2) MPs should be patriotic to country and sacrifice for the country and there should not have any personal interests. That is what the PM and MP do during swearing in.

Without the Anti Hopping LAW, REFORMS cannot happen. Current ELITES will continue to " Preserve their Interest" via PM "HOPPING" across . ( Who ever who can $$$$$$$ ) As seen in recent Political activities. Author( Not REAL NAME) CHOOSE to IGNORE of the RAKYAT wishes when they ELECTED their PM to POWER. Without the "Anti Hopping" LAW, Reforms CANNOT happened. PLUS ....... It PROMOTE "Corruption" within politics. Thus in the END ...... "DEMOCRACY has been HIJACKED " by the ELITES.
