Caretaker prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob today rejected the challenge by opposition chief Anwar Ibrahim to have a debate between political parties' prime ministerial candidates.<br /><br />Speaking at a press conference in Bukit Aman this afternoon, he said such debates were not a culture in Malaysia's politics and would bring no benefits.<br /><br />"First of all, it is not our culture to have debates. We have never done this, and it doesn't do any good.<br /><br />"And even if we do debate, he (Anwar) will only use the time to mention his manifesto and make ‘bulan dan bintang’ (the moon and the stars) promises (to voters).<br /><br />"So, no need," he said.
