The amendments stipulate that assembly members who switch parties will forfeit their position in the assembly and have to vacate their seats.

Warisan president Shafie Apdal says the party wants to scrutinise the bill to ensure it can bring political stability to Sabah if it is passed and enforced.

Law minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar says this is consistent with the timeline set in the tabling and approval of the constitution amendment bill.

The Constitutional (Amendment) Bill (No. 3) 2022 had been tabled for a second reading today.

Ismail Sabri Yaakob says senators and other stakeholders will be briefed before the amendment is made for members of the Dewan Negara.

All 209 MPs present voted in support of the bill in another historic show of unity.

It will be tabled in Parliament on Monday.

It is also seeking a discussion on three other matters related to its MoU with the government, including a two-term limit to the prime minister's tenure.

Law minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar says it has been recommended to the prime minister for tabling at the special parliamentary sitting in July.

Law minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar says two matters have been raised for further refinement.

Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar answers questions on whether the bill would affect state assemblies, what would happen if a state does not accept the bill, and the effect of Section 18(c) of the Societies Act.

He says the government has no intention of delaying or not tabling the bill.
