Four representatives of Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim will take on MCA central committee member Chua Tee Yong at a MCA-organised debate in Bandar Tun Razak tonight.
Khalid had appointed them as his spokespersons on all matters related to the Talam Corp Bhd debt restructuring exercise, which Chua claims is a major scandal.

The quartet are parliamentarians Tony Pua (Petaling Jaya Utara), William Leong (Selayang), Zulkefly Ahmad (Kuala Selangor) and Khalid's political secretary Faekah Husin.
Chua's men had written to Khalid on Sept 4 to inform him of the debate dare. Khalid has yet to respond.
According to Pua, he and his three teammates were fulfilling their duties as Khalid's representatives by appearing at the event tonight.
"If they don't accept, it proves that Chua is just trying to politicise the issue. He should accept us because we are appointed by Khalid," he said.
Pua said since the decision to participate in the event was made at the last minute, his team would not be asking supporters to show up.
"We are not going there to make trouble. Our purpose is to discuss the Talam issue. We have prepared a long time for this," he said.
The event will be held at the International Youth Centre at 8pm.
