Another Debate: 20 August

FORMER AND CURRENT CM

Its confirm, the open debate between acting Gerakan president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon and Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng. Another debate organised by news portal Agenda Daily. It will be held on Aug 20 in Shah Alam. I’m not sure about the venue of the debate.

They had their first discourse 20 years ago at the Penang Town Hall when both were Youth leaders of Gerakan and DAP respectively. This will be the second meeting between Koh and Lim in a debate. Both sides have agreed on the debate location, debate language and to talk about Penang state related issues. This debate based on the US presidential debate format and be moderated by Datuk Johan Jaafar.

The news portal had earlier set up a debate between Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on the fuel price hike and its socio-economic implications. The debate, also moderated by Datuk Johan Jaafar, was held last month at Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka here and was aired by several TV stations. Hope the TV stations will come forward again to air this debate to fulfill millions of Malaysian’s wish to watch it life.
