A public debate between the Youth wing of Selangor DAP and MCA is likely to be held to compare the governance and policies of the current and previous administration in the state.

Selangor MCA Youth chief Kow Cheong Wei had said yesterday that he is prepared to accept any challenge to debate the issues.

According to Chinese dailies, he said the wing has a line-up of four teams, each consisting of three leaders, to enter the debate.

She urged Selangor MCA chief Donald Lim, who had declined the challenge earlier, to learn from the Youth leader.

"We welcome MCA Youth to contact DAP on the debate details and other technical issues," read the statement.

Selangor DAP vice-chairperson Teng Chang Khim had initiated the move, after alleging that MCA had hired writers to attack and defame the Pakatan Rakyat-led state government.

He challenged Lim to hold a public debate with Selangor DAP chief Teresa Kok on governance in Selangor. However, Lim declined to do so.
