Nong Chik shies away from Nurul debate

Lembah Pantai Umno chief Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin has declined MP Nurul Izzah Anwar’s debate offer to enable the constituents who has done more to help them.

"I don't think we need to debate. The general election is near. Let us decide then. Why should we debate? The rakyat will evaluate what she has done," he said at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.

Other than that, Nong Chik(right) said, that as a BN cabinet member he is not given to debating. "We cabinet members are not encouraged to debate..."

He also said that if Nurul Izzah really had done good for her constituency, she need not worry.

"Just say what she had done, usually she just rides on my accomplishments," he added.

Yesterday, Nurul Izzah (left) had thrown down the gauntlet to the federal territories and urban well-being minister to debate his allegations that she spends more time criticising him than serving the people of Lembah Pantai.

Both are going head to head as Nurul is set to defend her seat with Nong Chik set on wresting back the former BN seat.
