00:00 Former Klang MP Charles Santiago has called on elected representatives who back another

00:06 party leader to relinquish their seats to ensure impartiality in the political system.

00:12 Santiago's comments come in the wake of Labuan MP Suhaily Abdul Rahman's declaration

00:17 of support for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim yesterday.

00:22 Suhaily is the second opposition MP to declare support for Anwar's government after Kuala

00:26 Kangsa MP Iskandar Zulkarnain Abdul Khalid.

00:30 Both MPs are from Bersatu.

00:33 Santiago said the purpose of the anti-hopping law introduced last year was to ensure political

00:38 stability and prevent another Sheraton move.

00:42 The Sheraton move in 2020 saw Barisan National, Bersatu, PAS and a faction led by PKR's then-deputy

00:49 President Azmil Ali joining forces to topple the Pakatan Harapan government.

00:54 Santiago said while opposition MPs have the freedom to make individual decisions, they

00:59 should also weigh the repercussions of their decisions on their respective parties.

01:04 Meanwhile, Bersi chairman Thomas Fun said an MP's decision to support a leader from

01:09 a different party creates a loophole that puts the party in a difficult situation.
