Despite their highly-anticipated debate in Kuala Kangsar having been postponed, former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Tourism and Culture Minister Nazri Aziz still managed to meet, even if it was just over cendol in the Perak town yesterday.

At a programme organised by Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia later at night, Mahathir recounted Nazri’s eagerness to debate him.

“But I see that his party doesn’t support him, his government doesn’t support him, no one is supporting him so he cannot debate me.
