MALACCA POLLS | MCA president Wee Ka Siong has dismissed Anthony Loke’s challenge to debate their respective track records as transport ministers, insisting he never questioned his successor’s performance and suggesting the invitation was little more than an attempt to manufacture a controversy where none existed.

“He can consider himself the ‘best transport minister ever in Malaysia, or the world’. He can hold on to this self-fulfilling prophecy for all I care,” he told Malaysiakini.

Wee (above, right) was responding to Loke, who challenged him to a face-to-face debate on their respective stints at the Transport Ministry.

“You want to challenge face to face? I can face you too. What did you do as transport minister, and what did Loke do as transport minister?” the DAP secretary-general asked.
