Fuel Price Debate

Last nigth show was entertaining. I was glued to the television. Really refreshing to see political debate between the government and the opposition. Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim carried with him a glittering charisma. It sure felt good for him, after so many years not appearing on TV. Bravo Anwar.

On the other end, Datuk Shabery Cheek. Malaysia Information Minister. Sadly, In my opinion this chap doesn't have any idea about economics. We don't know what he learned in university, but clearly he is not up to the par with Anwar. Shabery resorted to personal attacks and always talked in retrospect instead.

Anwar was absolutely the victor and Shabery became the prey of the day. People said Shabery was frothing. Very funny indeed. Let me tell you about frothing, all my life, ive met several people and dogs too with frothing condition. Whenever they talk (or is it barking?), layers of white foamy substance forms at the corner of their lips.



This condition may be caused by several factors. One of them is chaotic nerves. Scared of being humiliated can be one of them. Since this is the first of its kind debate to be held live in Malaysia, Shabery must have felt tremendous pressures. Let alone, the intimidation of debating with someone of Anwar's calibre.

Second factor is alcohol. Couple shots of vodka, some anxiety pills, or beer or stout can produce swill in your mouth. Those stress reducing stuffs.

Shabery Cheek also promised to resign if he cannot convince Malaysians that the fuel price hike is the right thing to do. Well now it's up to him to decide his own performance. The PM should know better, oo ya i hope he did watch it.

Shallow analysis, wanton personal attacks on Anwar, often diverted to things in the past, and frequently fumbled on his words. This is a primary school standards. I think at the end of the debate, Shabery must have felt awfully relieved.

Thank you Agenda Daily for organizing such a great debate. I would like to see more, please call these fellas for live debate;

Bung Mokhtar Radin
Pandikar Amin
Nazri Aziz
Pairin Kitingan

I want to see them shouting and screaming like chimpanzees in the debate, they may throw a few fists too, and have a seizure in the end. You knowlah, these people are loud but have Burung Unta brains.
