00:13 The Washington Post reported that Han Sha was in a big jump.
00:16 It was criticized as the United Front Government was threatening the National Alliance members to support Anhua.
00:21 So, did the pro-Party members have violated the Anti-Jumping Law?
00:27 Asmi Hassan, the political scholar of the National Congress, said during the interview.
00:30 "Member of Congress can freely make political statements.
00:33 As long as he does not withdraw from the party or join other parties, it is not considered jumping."
00:37 "So the National Alliance can only accept it helplessly in this matter."
00:41 It seems that Anhua holds the central power.
00:44 This big banker still has the advantage of turning the opposition's camp into a support.
00:50 Asmi Hassan also pointed out that although the anti-jumping law was criticized,
00:53 members of Congress can violate the party's will to support other parties or political figures.
00:58 But some political parties, such as the Action Party and the Republican Party,
01:00 have changed the party seal and considered violating the party's will as resigning to prevent this legal loophole.
01:08 As the National Party did not do this, the members of the party cannot resign even if they violate the party's will.
01:15 Asmi Hassan also pointed out that if a member is expelled by the party, it is not considered jumping.
01:20 Therefore, the National Party cannot expel the two members who support Anhua.
01:25 As for the statement of Asmi Hassan that the United Government threatened the National Congress members to support the United Government,
01:30 the Minister of the Interior, Sai Fuding, emphasized that the police have not intercepted any reports of the United Government members being threatened to support the United Government.
01:38 If the National Party does not have concrete evidence, it should not make such a complaint.
01:43 He also ridiculed Asmi Hassan, saying that the United Government will not be late to the political debate.
01:49 "Some of our MPs have received calls from several parties.
01:58 If the government feels that they have more than two parties supporting them,
02:06 what should we do?
02:08 We should not interfere in these matters."
02:11 Asmi Hassan, the Secretary-General of the National Congress, accused the United Government of sending people to interfere with the National Congress members' efforts to win support.
02:18 Minister of the Interior, Sai Fuding, emphasized that the United Government is still operating as usual.
02:21 Yesterday's budget for 2024 was also approved.
02:25 They did not face the lack of knowledge of the members of the National Congress,
02:28 so they did not need to threaten the members of the National Congress to turn their backs.
02:31 "There is no big opportunity.
02:34 There is no hesitation in the current government's position.
02:39 If there is a situation where several MPs from the National Assembly say they support us,
02:49 we will be embarrassed."
02:52 Sai Fuding also said that the United Government will not use threats to gain support from the members of the National Congress.
02:57 Instead, Hassan Zanuddin used similar methods to overthrow the West Mongol government.
03:03 "I would like to say that the support is the result of their threats.
03:08 We deny that.
03:09 It is not our job.
03:11 It is the job of Dato' Amzah when he overthrew the government through the Sharaytong movement."
03:16 Those who care about domestic politics know that the anti-skipping law has been passed.
03:20 Does it make sense for a member of the National Assembly to publicly announce that he supports the prime minister?
03:25 Asmi Hassan, a political scholar at the National University of China, said during an interview that
03:28 "According to the anti-skipping law under the federal constitution,
03:30 if a member of the National Assembly supports a prime minister from other parties,
03:33 he will not automatically lose his seat.
03:35 The National Assembly has already foreseen this happening when it passed the anti-skipping law."
03:41 "Because of the federal constitution,
03:43 there is a federal constitution that allows any citizen,
03:47 and this includes members of parliament, to profess their political views.
03:52 When they establish the anti-skipping law, they know that this will happen.
03:56 But they just cannot stop members of parliament by supporting certain politicians,
04:02 or the prime minister in this case, because it will go against the federal constitution.
04:07 So yes, the party just cannot do anything about this.
04:10 They cannot dismiss the two politicians,
04:14 because if they dismiss the two politicians, they will keep the seat."
04:17 Asmi Hassan believes that the National Assembly is now in a situation of "unavoidable dilemma".
04:23 They cannot force the two politicians to not support the prime minister,
04:25 and they cannot expel the two members of parliament.
04:26 If they are expelled,
04:28 they will not need to hold a public meeting to formally join the United Nations.
04:32 He said that unless the party has signed an agreement in advance,
04:37 and if the party's will is violated, it will automatically withdraw from the party.
04:40 In that case, the public meeting can be held again.
04:43 "Not only the AP, but also the National Assembly did that.
04:46 And also the PKR did sue Zuraida,
04:49 because they had an agreement, a pre-agreement, before they became the candidate.
04:53 Yes, you need to do that.
04:55 And apparently, the National Assembly did not do that.
04:59 Or not the National Assembly, but the United Nations in this case,
05:01 because in the past, they had the pre-agreement,
05:03 but I think the United Nations did not have it.
05:05 So they are facing trouble right now."
05:07 If the anti-skipping law is passed,
05:09 and members of parliament still cannot support the opposition,
05:11 then the anti-skipping law will be a loophole.
05:14 Azmi Hashan said that although the United Nations cannot do anything about it,
05:19 the anti-skipping law still avoids a situation like the Shredden coup.
05:24 "Looking at Barisa National, it is very effective,
05:27 because there are a number of MPs in Barisa National who want to jump ship.
05:31 But because of anti-hopping law,
05:33 but because they have a pre-agreement,
05:35 they just cannot jump ship.
05:37 So in a way, yes, I would say it prevents a change of government in this case."
