Last nite's debate - between Anwar Ibrahim and Shabery Cheek - was a 'so-s0' ones and it wasn't at all amusing the way it was expected to be. Shabery was just like what he was during his student days in MU (early 1980s); and last nite's platform was used in a rather 'college-debate' way of selling and arguing. Anwar, however, did better, in fact far more better (wiser and matured, because he did not go for character slaying) like what Shabery was doing last nite. Anwar stayed focused while Shabery strayed and seemed to be a bit emotional and shaky. The debate was good indeed, considering it was the first debate aired live by electronic media ever (there was once a forum organised by one tv station years ago featuring Allahyarham Dato' Fadhil Noor, and one government's representative, I think it was Tun Dr Mahathir (?) ). Good start. Congratulations Shabery, Anwar!
