Penang's anti-hopping law is for Guan Eng to keep the state in his hands

By seeking to table an anti-hopping enactment in the Penang state assembly, Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng is only seeking to strengthen his grip on Penang as he has no faith in his own Pakatan comrades in the Pearl of the Orient.

It is clear that Guan Eng does not trust his own Penang Pakatan MPs and as such, he resorts to coming up with an anti-hopping law to prevent any form of betrayal. If Guan Eng really felt this strongly on party hopping in the first place, then why was he silent on Pakatan's de facto leader Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim's claim that he had enough BN Members of Parliament to crossover to allow him to take over the federal government on September 16, 2008?

Thus, the decision to implement the anti-hopping enactment in Penang is only Guan Eng's way of keeping Penang firmly in his own hands as no other Pakatan state governments such as Kelantan, Kedah and Selangor have openly and clearly stated that they too want an anti-hopping law. Does this mean that each Pakatan state is run differently from each other?

DAP should amend their party constitution

If DAP is really against party hopping, they should first of all amend their own party constitution thus requiring all DAP members to adhere to this new ruling. After that they should then try to implement this in Pakatan's own common policy framework so that there is consistency within Pakatan, instead of different parties saying different things.

BN, unlike Pakatan, has full confidence in its members and as such does not attempt to restrict their freedom using various rules. This is in line with the spirit of a democratic government, and Pakatan will do well to follow in our lead.
