COMMENT | For every dozen challenges that are issued, only one or two actually reach fruition.

One that impacted upon public policy and lives long in the memory because of the witty exchanges and high intellectual path.In fact, this isn’t even the first time Kit Siang and Najib have drawn their swords, only for them to be sheathed without the drawing of blood. In July 2018, Kit Siang challenged Najib to aDo you recall it happening? Well, you shouldn’t - because it didn’t.

macai2 pok cik lim sedang memberi alasan mengapa debat tidak perlu diteruskan

I’d think focus more on the reforming the current state of affairs Malaysia is having is the main priority. It’s pointless debating....action speaks louder than words!

Najib Talk kock only...wat for.

I thought you all eager meh.

Both will blame each others, that's the whole agenda

As human beings we must look at the bigger picture... We're already lagging so far behind our closest neighbour.. It's embarrassing. Malu

What is there to debate. Ask him to pay back what he stole.Dont waste raayat time debating.

An overstatement! Great only if it is btw the world leaders & not a non inclusive introvert pathetically struggling country attempting to be relevant. limkitsiang pakatanharapan_ NajibRazak chedetofficial mujahidrawa AzminAli saifuddinabd

every breath you take, every move you make, i'll be watching you. LOL

None of them posess the critical thinking that can drive malaysia to the next phase ........so just another maharaja lawak

What's the point of a debate with a habitual liar?

A real waste of time ...nothing to prove on Najibs side ...because we know he was born to lie ...the same set of questions and explanations will be done by court..,so what’s LKS is doin?...do not engage with this ...it’s really stupid

Over rated. What’s the objective anyway?
