Abstract/Contents

Abstract: The Malaysian political crisis of 2020 threw the country into socio-political and economic chaos and highlighted the danger of party-switching, also known as party defection, to a growing democracy with a parliamentary system. Several countries across the world have sought to stop the threat of party-switching by implementing anti-defection laws. I examine the efficacy of global anti-defection laws, the prevalence of Malaysian party defections and suggest a possible legislative solution for Malaysia.
