The Debate Around (Political) Debates

Economic Affairs Minister Rafizi Ramli has complained that no one wants to debate him (until Bachok MP Mohd Syahir Che Sulaiman finally said yes). So what exactly is the appeal of political debates, and should it be a part of our political landscape? We unpack this with Associate Professor Dr Surinderpal Kaur, Dean for the Faculty of Languages and Linguistics at Universiti Malaya. And then after that, we hear which politicians our listeners would like to debate each other.
