Before we judge which side won the debate, we have to look at their original objective. For Shabery, the objective is to defend Government's move on fuel rise and to win over the so called independents/sceptics. On this, Shabery failed. Those who are sceptical remain sceptical. And I think he didn't even win over Anwar's sceptics. What he did was just repeating what you can read in the mainstream media, nothing new. Whereas Anwar has done a good job in recommending many measures to justify his proposal, regardless of whether you agree or not. And he was very forward looking compared to Shabery, who kept on looking backward into 30/40 years old stories.
And it has just been confirmed, Anwar was arrested today near his house at about 12.55 noon. Another sad day of Malaysia's fragile democracy. I am convinced that Malaysia would be better off without BN.
