Hey Azmi, requesting a debate with your opponents in TV,I think is a good proposal.Why are you so against LKS ? Don’t be judgemental ? Are you telling me all your UMNO/BN friends are afraid to debate against LKS/DAP ? In all demoncratic countries,public TV debate is normal.For instant,in the US,UK,South Korea, Japan,Taiwan,Australia,sometime even in communist country such as China. Malaysia is a demoncratic country,isn’t it AZMI ?

In America, they have debates BEFORE the elections. We are now PAST the elections here in Malaysia. Public debates are no longer very useful.

In America, once the elections are over, it is time to end the political debates and start working on the policies. So what is it Malaysia needs the most now? More debates?

cintaumno:

then may we question the frights and horrors among the umnoputra in accepting the debate challenges? is it due to the fact they have no knowledge, cognitive ability, no gut or whatsoever? Your posts have given 0 constructive opinions, other than bashing DAP and LKS. When issues are directed to the incompetencies of the current, you would try to change the issue and touch on racial topic.

blatantly a pro-UMNO fanatic, perhaps?

Are we a “threat to national security” if we wear chicken outfits to every public event of this Hamid Albar?

Mr. Azmi Azhar is clearly a BN/UMNO suppoter. There’s no explanation as to why crime rate is going up & what action is taken to counter them.
Yb Saudara LKS is doing his duty as an elected person to expose the utter disrepute of the current Government (if u called them one) that has only contemps the average Malaysians. Saudara LKS is asking the same thing for rest of us whom are totall insignificant to the corrupted Government.
Syabas YB saudara LKS, a true patriotic Malaysia. For the People, To People & By the People.

‘About that poor chap LLT,you have chosen a sycophant to compare with LKS.You must be a damn ignorant fool.’ jus legitimum.

No I don’t think this cintanegara chap is a fool, just that he has been so well indoctrinated that he is incapable of separating the wheat from the chaff and is completely incapable of making an independant intelligible opinion.

Why can’t this Azmi guy write in simple English? He would do himself a lot of favour and gain more readers for his articles if he avoids the convulated verbal diarrheoa common in all his writings. The writing style sounds a lot like those Nigerian multi million dollar inheritance scams.

But I do agree with one of Azmi’s observations when he said: “…to goad his rivals, even if they were a notch down his intellectual range..” in describing Kit’s opposite BN members. They are indeed not just a ” notch down” but several notches down and that is why they avoid debating with Kit. For those who has seen the BBC Hardtalk programme when Syed Hamid was interviewed when he was still Foreign Minister would know what I mean. He was stammering halfway through the interview when the interviewer asked him some difficult questions about Malaysia’s unfair policies and all he could muster was mumbling about ” we do it our way” by way of reply. One could clearly see he was stuck for an answer and I suspect his thought process was just not fast enough to respond. Imagine if the interviewer was Kit. Syed would be cut to ribbons.

cintanegara may learn from the age old chinese proverb that says,” A good horse is proven by the distance it can cover and a person’s character is discernible through time.” YB LKS with his almost half a century old political career bespeaks the respect that he commands among the people.About that poor chap LLT,you have chosen a sycophant to compare with LKS.You must be a damn ignorant fool.

Lee Lum Thye is one of those who responsible for the death of young Malaysians at the national service camp, and he cried for it, meaningful indeed.

LKS must change his style and personlilty if he wants to gain support from the majority. He should learn from his ex-deputy, Lee Lum Tyle who has shown his meaningful contribution to the country. Calling for debate is only to gain popularity and won’t bring any significant value to the rakyat.

I fully agree with Anak Msia. The raykat can judge for themselves whether we have capable and competent people running the country.

What I am seeing, appointments are made without merit and you can only expect more mismanagement. Look at the Tourism Ministry.

Need I say more.

debate with open minded, this should be the way the Goment and Opposition works together for the Rakyat. Open debates is the best way to straighten things out with fact and figure.

Why avoid !!!!

As far as debating is concern, Sdr. Lim can only be equaled by his DAP colleagues who has too much deference for him. So among party leaders, Sdr. Lim is unmatch as far as debating is concern. The right proper thing is that getting a chance to debate Sdr. Lim should be an honor for BN leaders. The fact is Sdr. Lim willingness to debase himself to offer BN leaders to debate him speaks volume his humility, sacrifice.

All they have left are some idiots and morons in the cabinet. How on earth will anyone take on Kit and make themselves look real stupid on prime time national TV?
Syed Hamid can’t even speak proper English and his IQ is no better than a Form Five drop out.
There is no one in the BN who has the ‘intellectual capacity’ of Kit or Anwar Ibrahim.

Imagine malaysia without DAP. Malaysia without Lim Kit Siang. We would have spent tens of billions of the country’s money to buy some several hundred trully advanved fighter helicopters in malaysia. And submarines too. And we have even have ICBMs and all the rest of them.

Wow singapore could then be ours anytime. Easy. Just reach out and pluck.

We could have a five hundred-storey building and a bridge (partly on land and partly across the sea) connecting KL to Jakarta and the world’s largest manmade something surely, maybe flower. We could even have our own rocket and space station. And our scientist would be given privileged rights to be considered for nobel prizes and all world awards. I mean all cutting edge tecnhology would be here. And our universities ranking would be top 10. All of them top ten. No problem mate.

Lim Kit Siang you are in the way. Its all your fault. You talked too much in and outside parliament. You are a liability to the nation.

If I understood Azmi correctly, I think that is more or less what he is saying.

WTF man. Why dont you just GFY Azmi!

Half a century of virtual monopoly of every institution and the effects of crony-corruption have dulled batch after batch of government ministers and MPs to know the meaning of ‘Accountability’. To expect any of the ministers or MPs to engage in a responsible and sensible debate would be akin to expecting blood from squeezing a stone.

Until they see the light , it would be hard to distinguish the crap that oozes out of the upper and lower orifices of sycophant-in-chief Hamid Al-BURP and his ilk like Chor and Azmi.

I’m all for open debates as it is the best way to freeing the minds of the people. The fact that the Americans are so advanced and lead the world in so many areas for so long is because they always free their minds and try new ways of doing things and solving problems.
YB LKS is a very well-read person. Hence he always wins in any argument in Parliament.
YB may have no peers when it comes to debates, but can he be equally good when it comes to administering the country? We shall have the answer when PR is 4 or 5 years into power when he is a Minister. But excuse me, YB LKS sometimes behave in an arrogant manner. He has to correct his character flaws in public if he and the DAP want to win over more followers to his cause.
After the PR victory in the 308 12GE in Perak, I was surprised that YB didn’t immediately explain to the DAP supporters why a Chinese ADUN can’t be appointed to the post of Perak MB despite the fact that DAP made up of more than half the PR Assemblymen in the state, or the issue of a Chinese Deputy MB in Selangor. The inaction by YB allowed some DAP supporters to clamour for unreasonable demands. Remember, Malay voters may want change but not that drastic a change. This shows that the YB Lim was either insensitive or hesitant to deal with an important situation. Excuse me, YB.
