Did we come out any wiser after the television debate between Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and his predecessor Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon on Wednesday night?

I think not. Was it worth it? To me, no.

Should we have such debates in the future? No. Questions that were asked were left unanswered.

So what did we gain? Really nothing!

Any such debate must focus on the issues at hand, not beat around the bush.

If they do, then we might as well not have the debate, since they do not unearth anything relevant.
