Anwar Should Debate With Nallakaruppan, Says Perkasa

KUALA LUMPUR, April 5 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should take on United India Malaysia Party president Datuk S.Nallakaruppan in a debate over his (Nallakaruppan's) remarks that there was no provision in the constitution allowing a bisexual to be the prime minister.

Perkasa, a Malay right wing group, information chief Ruslan Kasim said Anwar, who was known to be a great orator, should be able to deliberate at length on the matter, instead of suing Nallakaruppan.

"I wonder why Anwar, who is also known as a spin master and an expert at thwarting issues, seemed to be in disarray and panicky over Datuk Nalla's remarks," said Ruslan in a statement.

He said normally the opposition leader was calm when he reacted to allegations hurled against him.

"I think it is better for Anwar to seek help from PAS and the DAP, instead of issuing a writ demanding RM100 million in damages from Datuk Nalla as this will enable him (Anwar) to explain to the people why he was so angry over the remarks," said Ruslan.
