Rather than an open debate between PAS and DAP on local council elections, DAP's organising secretary Anthony Loke proposed today that the matter be discussed and resolved through the Pakatan Rakyat Leadership Council.

Loke who is also Seremban MP, said he was asked by party secretary-general Lim Guan Eng to respond to PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali’s challenge to Lim to debate on the issue.
