On Dr M asking PM Najib for a public debate, Nazri said that he has no right to ask the PM for a debate as he is just an ordinary citizen, adding that Najib should not stoop to the former premier's level

"I don't want my PM to lower himself because he is a PM while Dr Mahathir is just an ordinary citizen. **So why should my PM need to go to the level of an ordinary citizen?** He has no locus standi to have a debate with Najib. For me, certainly it's not a good idea," The Star quoted him as saying.
The minister also said there was already an existing platform for debate, known as the Parliament. "If there's a debate, it should be in the Parliament between the Opposition Leader and Najib."
