KUALA LUMPUR: A newly-registered NGO calling themselves Sedar (Sahabat Erat Dan Amanat Rakyat Malaysia) has started a petition calling for an anti-hopping law and equal allocation of funds for MPs from both the ruling government and the opposition. Its president Nazrin Norani said the petition came about following feedback that many citizens were fed-up with the politicking and party-hopping taking place. The third part of the petition highlighted the unequal allocation to ruling coalition and opposition MPs, which Nazrin claimed was why MPs were hoping to join the ruling Pakatan Harapan coalition. "Sedar is running the signature campaign till June next year before we hand over the petition and gather signatures," Nazrin said. His deputy Subash Chandrabose Arumugam Pillai said many people were unhappy with the party-hopping taking place.
