DAP agree on political frogging.. but with condition

DAP Sabah advisor Dr Hiew King Cheu who is also MP for Kota Kinabalu said that politicians had the right to change party in pursuit of their political agenda but should not do it before finishing their terms as it would mean betraying the responsibility entrusted to them by the voters.

“For me personally, I think one has to look at the overall scenario when justifying or criticising someone who jumps party,” he said yesterday.

“When the people vote for you, they give you their trust and when you suddenly jump but at the same time still holding the seat given to you by the people, that is not right.

“If you have already finished your term and then decide that you should change your political platform for any reason, then it is up to you,” he said, when asked to comment on the remark by State Reform Party (Star) Sabah chairman Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan.
