DEBAT

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

I believe as a Malaysian, I have the right to voice out my opinion anywhere.


as a Malaysian, I also believe more than half of Malaysians witnessed the debate between Anwar Ibrahim(DSAI) vs Information Minister.

Before I start, to be fair, we have to congratulate Dr Shabery Cheek for his bravery. One thing that we regretted was his constant personal attacks on DSAI, which was clearly stated that it is strictly prohibited.

Even if you were not a fan of DSAI, I think everyone would agree Anwar came up as the winner tonight. When we talk about a winner, there must be a loser. As a student, I don't think there was any loser there, but Anwar was clearly better. He was fluent, charismatic and well prepared for this event. He managed to explain his thoughts clearly, with no stuttering at any stage.

On the other hand, Dr Shabery's constant personal attacks on DSAI has highlighted his weakness. Fair enough he was defending his UMNO-led Government team, but he's also consistently avoiding the questions posed to him. Anwar clearly said there is no doubt on Petronas's credibilities, but the question is how is the fund managed by the Government. Instead of answering, he diverted the focus on Anwar's past records.

As a student, I am willing to be corrected. However I believe more than 90% of Malaysians think Anwar was the winner of the event.

UMNO PAS MUZAKARAH

Another positive development is to hear both parties UMNO and PAS are happy to sit down together and discuss issues intellectually. Moving towards a more challenging world, the Malays have no choice but to be and stay united.

“Tiada kebaikan pada kebanyakan bisik-bisikan mereka, kecuali (bisik-bisikan) orang yang menyuruh bersedekah, atau menyuruh berbuat kebaikan, atau menyuruh perdamaian antara manusia. Dan sesiapa yang berbuat demikian dengan maksud mencari keredaan Allah, tentulah Kami akan memberi kepadanya pahala yang amat besar” (Surah al-Nisa’: ayat 114)
