Datuk
Seri Anwar Ibrahim today renewed his debate challenge on Datuk Seri Najib
Razak, this time suggesting to take on the country’s number one by pitting
Barisan Nasional’s (BN) Budget 2013 to Pakatan Rakyat’s (PR) alternative.
The opposition leader pointed out to how
Najib had laced his Budget speech this evening with direct insults against PR
and told the prime minister that if he was prepared to attack the opposition,
he should do so in a debate.
“Debate me. If you are prepared to
attack the opposition and the opposition leader, why can you not engage in a
debate?
“Confine it to economic policies… or the
Budget. I am now reiterating my earlier proposal that we debate ? that I debate
Najib on the national Budget… PR versus BN’s Budget,” he told reporters after
Najib tabled the government’s Budget 2013 in Parliament this evening.
Anwar
had earlier described BN’s Budget handouts as mere “titbits” fed to the poor
and middle income earners, pointing out that the move would do nothing to
narrow the country’s income gap.
The prime minister hopeful said the
fresh round of cash handouts in Budget 2013 to middle- and lower-income
Malaysians was proof that the government was merely concerned with its chances
at the ballot boxes in the coming months.
“The announcements of handouts to
general Malaysians is just a small dosage for the elections… but the basic
structural problem of the country, where the rich cronies and their family
members amass millions of dollars of profits through improper means ? that is
left intact,” Anwar said.
In his Budget 2013 speech, Najib took an
indirect swipe at Anwar when he pointed out that among the leaders of the
federal opposition were “those who were trusted as leaders to manage the
nation’s wealth.”
Anwar was finance minister under the
Mahathir administration.
“We recognise that the BN government is
not without fault, but what differentiates us from the other is that they do
not have the courage to accept mistakes. On the other hand, they make excuses
and find fault in others. “Ultimately, parties that offer an alternative must
be evaluated on their merit,” Najib had said in his speech. “The rakyat know
them well. Among them, there are those who were trusted as leaders to manage
the nation’s wealth.
“If today they make promises, the rakyat
must ask why is this leadership, while in power, did not take any action. “When
they had the opportunity; and did not implement what they promises, what
guarantee is there that they will fulfil promises when they are in power?” he
asked. Najib pointed out that it was during the Asian financial crisis in the
late 1990s when the country was “almost destroyed”.
Please Najib, we want to be in a healthy politic condition like US and Japan.
See how Obama and Romney debate? I love watching that.

US
Republican candidate Mitt Romney won the first of three televised debates with
President Barack Obama, polls and analysts say. After the 90-minute duel
centring on taxes, the deficit and healthcare, polls gave Mr Romney a 46-67%
margin with Mr Obama trailing on 22-25%.
Commentators
said Mr Romney appeared in command while Mr Obama was hesitant.
Mr
Obama has led national polls and surveys in the swing states that will decide
the 6 November election. The BBC's Mark Mardell says if the gap narrows or Mitt
Romney starts moving ahead of Mr Obama, that will be a huge boost for his
campaign, and suggest he could win the White House. However if they hardly
budge, then the Republican challenger will be in deep trouble, the North
America editor adds.
Stopping slump
President
Obama appeared subdued, occasionally asking moderator Jim Lehrer, of US public
television network PBS, for time to finish his points. The two candidates
attacked each other's economic plans, with Mr Obama describing his rival's
approach as "top-down economics" and a retread of Bush-era policies.
"If
you think by closing [tax] loopholes and deductions for the well-to-do, somehow
you will not end up picking up the tab, then Governor Romney's plan may work
for you," he said. "But I think math, common sense, and our history
shows us that's not a recipe for job growth." Mr Romney derided Mr Obama's policies as
"trickle-down government".
"The
president has a view very similar to the one he had when he ran for office four
years ago, that spending more, taxing more, regulating more - if you will,
trickle-down government - would work," Mr Romney said. "That's not
the right answer for America." Mr Romney pledged not to reduce taxes for
wealthy Americans, and said Mr Obama had misrepresented Mr Romney's tax plans
on the campaign trail.
Both camps
rushed to defend the respective performances.
"The
average person at home saw a president who you could trust," Obama adviser
David Plouffe told reporters. "That's what the American people are looking
for." But senior Romney aide Eric Fehrnstrom said the president had spoken
"only in platitudes". "If
this were a boxing match, it would have been called by the referee," he
said.
Commentators
largely agreed that Mitt Romney had performed better. New York
Times columnist and Nobel laureate Paul Krugman said, Mr Obama
"did a terrible job in the debate, and Romney did well". "But in
the end, this isn't or shouldn't be about theatre criticism, it should be about
substance," Mr Krugman said, defending Mr Obama's statements while
charging that "much of what Romney said was either outright false or so
misleading as to be the moral equivalent of a lie".
ABC
News quoted one of its consultants andDemocratic
strategist Donna Brazile as saying: "Mitt Romney did a lot
of good... was a little more aggressive than the president." Washington
Post conservative columnist George Will said Mr Romney's performance had
"stopped [his slump in the polls] in its tracks". A CNN/ORC
International poll of 430 people who watched the debate showed
67% thought Romney won, compared with 25% for Obama.

A CBS News
poll found a 46% support for Mr Romney, 22% for Mr Obama and
32% saying it was a tie. And a Google
survey gave Mr Romney a 47.8% advantage against 25.4% for Mr
Obama.
Clash on
'Obamacare'
On
healthcare, Mr Romney said that Mr Obama's "Obamacare" reform law of
2010 had increased health costs and kept small businesses from hiring. Even as
he pledged to repeal Mr Obama's health law, Mr Romney praised and defended a
plan he himself had previously signed as governor of Massachusetts that is
widely hailed as the model for the Obama law.
Mr
Obama, meanwhile, said his plan had kept insurance companies from denying
coverage to sick people. The University of Denver debate was the first in a
series of three presidential forums and one vice-presidential encounter this
month. Running-mates Joe Biden and Paul Ryan will meet in Danville, Kentucky on
11 October, before the second presidential debate on 16 October.
