Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek had been linked as a potential "cross-over" candidate lately and is one of the bright stars in the Barisan Nasional/UMNO camp. However, the buzz with many UMNO members felt that he would perform better working with better capable leaders i.e he is on the wrong team.
July 15 is his showdown with Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on a debate on fuel hikes which will be televised live by the local TV stations which is predicted to be a "blockbuster". He has the blessings and support from "incapable for debate" PM to go ahead with this rare meeting. After the interview disasters of Syed Hamid Albar and Zainuddin Maidin (Zam) previously by BBC Hardtalk and Al Jazeera respectively, Malaysians are left to wonder if this would turn into another catalyst for Anwar's final Tsunami to dethrone the present ruling Government.
It's a high stake "duel" between a upcoming star and a experience politician akin to "high noon" where winner takes it from here.
Let's stay tune to July 15 ..... while the huge building in Jalan Putra is rocking and leaving confused supporters conducting meets in nearby hotel every afternoon for sembang teh tarik with Datuks, Datuk Seris and Tan Sris.
