COMMENT | Lim Guan Eng should not divert or run away from a debate in the spirit of competency, accountability and transparency (CAT) by talking about party positions. Whether you are No 1 or No 2 is of no relevance or interest to the public. But whether you and your government are corrupted or not is the primary issue that needs to be debated.

If Lim or the DAP government are not afraid or have nothing to hide, they should practice what they preach and stand up to the public scrutiny or accept the debate challenge by Wee Ka Siong, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department.

Obviously, Lim is afraid to face Wee who is known for his sharp and quick mind. Further, Wee have caught Lim with his pants down on his answers on the issues raised. It is noteworthy that DAP leaders, especially Tony Pua have been absolutely silent and not come to Lim's defence because of the many issues, discrepancies and lies, given by the DAP government in the course of the public scrutiny by Wee.

Lim must come clean and be seen to have nothing to hide. It is so lame of him to talk about protocol when the issues here are the abuse of powers, corruption and lies. These are valid issues and proper answers are not given, and there’s no respect for the public. We are not debating on MCA or DAP, on the party’s policies or philosophy, but the issues of mismanagement, scams and corruption as the core issues...
