Pakatan dares BN to public debate on manifesto
Pakatan Rakyat has challenged BN to a public debate on the viability of the former's election manifesto.
The coalition said that its policies will save RM49.5 billion, which will be used to finance many expensive plans outlined in the election pledge.
They said that the savings will come from curbing corruption, prudent spending and increasing government revenue by spurring economic development.
Three Pakatan Rakyat leaders who are tasked with debating BN are PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli, PAS central committee member Dzulkefly Ahmad and DAP international secretary Liew Chin Tong.
“We defend that the country would not go bankrupt following the policies which will be implemented by Pakatan should it win Putrajaya, and challenge any BN leaders to a debate.
"We even challenge Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to debate against Anwar Ibrahim on this,” they said in a press conference today.
