MCA HQ, 9 Dec – The stage is now all set in what seems to be the debate of the year within the Chinese community, i.e. MCA President Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek will debate DAP Secretary General Lim Guan Eng at Berjaya Times Square Hotel to close the Chinese at the Political Crossroads at the Next General Elections forum jointly organized by MCA’s think tank i.e. the Institute of Strategic Analysis and Policy Research (INSAP) and Asian Strategy and Leadership Institute (ASLI).
The Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak has accepted MCA’s invitation to officiate the forum which commences at 9.30a.m. on Saturday, 18 Feb 2012, of which our party extends our thanks.
Invitations to the leaders of Chinese-based political parties e.g. Gerakan, SUPP, LDP and DAP have been accepted of which Dato’ Peter Chin Fah Kui, President of SUPP will be among the speakers.
“I wish to thank Lim Guan Eng for accepting our invitation for a debate to be held at 5:00 p.m. on that day which will be for one hour between him and me. It will be conducted in English or Mandarin depending on the questions asked,” explained Soi Lek at a press conference held at Wisma MCA upon conclusion of the party’s Central Committee meeting.
According to the MCA President, the debate is about the Chinese dilemma in the coming general elections.
As agreed with the organisers, MCA does not want to turn the forum into politics. This is a serious forum to discuss the future of the Chinese community in the coming general elections.
When asked if the debate will be telecast live, Soi Lek informed that “we are trying to discuss with the related television stations if the debate can be telecast live as they already have scheduled slots.”
The forum is open to the public but due to the venue’s limited seating capacity, the organisers are trying to accommodate members of the parties invited and others.
