In his speech explaining the proposed constitutional amendments, Mr Ismail Sabri said the government viewed party hopping seriously as it had given rise to debates and polemics among the public.
“This is because it involves the mandate or trust of the people who elect their representatives in the Lower House,” Mr Ismail Sabri said. 
The proposed legislative amendments send a clear message to MPs that they should uphold the principles of the parties they represent in order to protect the people's mandate, the prime minister said.  
The amendments aims at "ensuring political stability and preventing endless political crisis for the country", he said. 
The Bill, which is likely to be put to vote on Thursday, is a key point in the Memorandum of Understanding signed between Mr Ismail Sabri’s government and the opposition Pakatan Harapan coalition in September last year. 
De facto law minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said previously that Malaysia’s democratic practices were unhealthy as 39 parliamentarians had switched political allegiances and three prime ministers had been appointed since the 2018 general election.
