The TV debate between Lim Guan Eng and Chua Soi Lek on 18th Feb is getting national coverage. But will the key issues facing the electorate be discussed? What are these issues?
1. What does Pakatan Rakyat truly stand for - equality for all races and a non-racial part system?
2. What does Barisan stand for - continued race-based politics or will internal reform be driving the parties forward?
3. It may take electoral defeat or a second straight loss of the two thrids majority for BN to learn the lesson of making genuine reforms.
4. The weakness of Pakatan Rakyat rests on PAS's stand on the Islamic state and hudud. How can their policies be accommodated in a multiracial multi ethnic country?
The whole world is watching Malaysia as ethnic and religious violence has shaken the Middle East and the Israeli-Iran conflict is back in the forefront of international news.
