I am proud of Malaysia tonight.
Proud of a democracy willing and able to debate a national issue.
Proud of an Information Minister who speaks well and knows what he is talking about.
Proud of an Opposition Leader who defends his promised policy and will not raise to challenges on personal character.
Proud of both, who were confident, articulate and respectful.
Proud of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who ended the debate with a handshake and a smile.
Proud of Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek who deemed it his responsibility to represent the government and accept the debate.
Thank you. (For openness, for hope. For democracy. For us.)
