PORT DICKSON (Bernama): The decision of DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang to withdraw from debating with former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is a wise move, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The PKR president and Port Dickson MP said it is feared the debate between the DAP veteran and Najib may be turned into a racial conflict.


"As far as I know, Kit Siang is not somebody who is not bold...but many friends advised it (the debate) is not suitable now as it could create tension.

"It is a good decision,” he told reporters when met during a House to House Contribution programme here Friday (May 24).


On Thursday (May 23), Lim announced his withdrawal from the debate with Najib for fear that the programme may be turned into a conflict between the Malays and Chinese. - Bernama
