MIC Will Not Hold Debate With Opposition - Subramaniam
JOHOR BAHARU, Feb 19 (Bernama) -- The MIC has no plans to hold any debate with the opposition just like the recent debate between MCA and DAP, said its deputy president Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam.
However, he said the debate was a platform for the people to know the policies and stand of both parties on several major issues that were raised.
"I think it is an opportunity in which the people were informed on different views, situations and stance (of both parties) and the people can do a proper assessment for themselves.
"I feel it is not a necessity for us (to hold debate) but if there are people who want to do, they can do it...we will not do it," he said after launching the 'My Career 2012' carnival at the Skudai Multipurpose Hall here today.
He was asked to comment on the debate between MCA President Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek and Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, who is also DAP secretary-general, yesterday
Subramaniam said no one emerged as a winner or loser in the one-hour debate.

So many debates, are they really necessary? Why not compete during the next general elections face to face?
BalasPadamDebat banyak2 pun tiada guna, keputusan tetap juga terletak di tangan rakyat.
PadamHalim,it is also through debating that the people could decide who to vote when election comes.
PadamDebates can help clear the air on certain issues that the country is facing, the government can use this opportunity to make their stand.
Padamberdebatlah di Parlimen jika teringin sangat mahu berdebat.
Padamdebat atau tidak, menjalankan tanggungjawab kpd rakyat adalah lebih penting.
PadamIf BN is ready to participate in the debate with the opposition, then we should just look forward to it. When will it be held then?
BalasPadamjika mereka ingin membuat perdebatan biarlah mendatangkan sesuatu yang positif untuk kepentingan rakyat.
Padamjangan pula berdebat dan membawa kesan yang buruk kepada rakyat. Perlu positif dan berfikiran terbuka.
PadamI don't think this kind of activity will solve any issue. It will only dragging on other issue and make things more worse!
BalasPadamAt least the opposition can stop calling Najib a coward now that he has prepared to take on their challenge to debate.
PadamBut if they want to have it then it is up to them.
BalasPadamBerdebat tidak akan bawa kepada sebarang penyelesaian.
BalasPadamLebih baik tunggu sahaja keputusan PRU nanti. Itu lebih baik dari buang masa untuk berdebat.
BalasPadamrakyat perlu membuat penilaian dengan bijak dalam pru nanti.
PadamI think debating is good. It allows the public to learn more about the issues and candidates. In this way, the debates help educate voters, enabling them to make more informed decisions at the ballot box.
BalasPadamWe'll just wait and see when the debate will be made, hope that the debate can bring something positive to the political scene.
PadamDebate is good if it's done in a right way.
Padambiarlah jika mereka nak berdebat.
BalasPadamPersonally I think this is a good way to build rapport.
BalasPadamKan lebih baik jika masing2 melontarkan pandangan dan mencari penyelesaian.
BalasPadamJika berdebat dapat cari jalan penyelesaian, apa salahnya.
BalasPadamSaya tidak fikir debat boleh selesaikan masalah. Debat ertinya puji diri sendiri dan burukkan pihak lawan. Macam mana boleh selesaikan masalah.
PadamTengku Adnan patut mendengar pandangan pemimpin2 lain dalam BN sebelum membuat kenyataan media berkenaan dengan pendirian BN dalam isu debat..
BalasPadamparti pemerintah dan pembangkang boleh diibaratkan sebagai orang yang mengadu dan orang yang membuat kerja.. sudah tentulah pihak yang mengadu itu mempunyai kelebihan dan banyak point yang boleh diketengahkan berbanding dengan pihak yang melakukan kerja..
BalasPadamKritik hasil kerja orang lain lebih senang daripada membuat kerja.
PadamKehangatan berdebate semakin kelihatan. Debate tidak dapat menyelesaikan perkara yang sudah lepas.
BalasPadamBenda yang sudah lepas mahu bertikam lidah pun tiada guna. Rakyat undi saja mengikut penilaian masing2.
Padamrakyat harus bijak menilai agar dapat membuat pilihan yang tepat.
