Why Anwar doesn't dare debate the budget?

We know that Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has challenged Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak to a debate about the budget but some quarters from BN, says Anwar is actually chickening out from the debate already.

They point out that a lively debate is going on in Parliament about the budget at the moment and Anwar is free to point out his objections and get answers to any queries from the PM and/or other ministers.

Hmmm....

Nurul Izzah: We will distribute 40,000 alternative Budget booklets

Pakatan Rakyat (PR) will distribute 40,000 booklets summarising its alternative Budget to all its constituencies starting today to help get word of its fiscal plans to ground.

PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar said the booklet will include opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s speech on Tuesday outlining the main thrusts of PR’s “shadow Budget”.

Copies will be given to members of the public free of charge.

“It’s a start but at least we realise that without traction and support from the ground, there’s no use talking,” Nurul Izzah told a 150-strong crowd at the PR Alternative Budget Forum here last night.
