PORT DICKSON: The decision of DAP advisor, Lim Kit Siang to withdraw from debating with former Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak, was a wise move, said Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) president, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (pix).
Anwar said it was feared the debate between the DAP veteran and Najib would be turned into a racial conflict.
“As far as I know Kit Siang is not somebody who is not bold ... but I thought many friends advised it is not suitable now as it could create tension.
“It is a good decision,” he told reporters when met during a House to House Contribution programme, here today.
Yesterday, Lim announced his withdrawal from the debate with Najib on worries the programme might be turned into a conflict between the Malays and Chinese. - Bernama
