Fahmi Fadzil said such programmes is highly encouraged in line with the practice of democracy in the country.
The Communications and Digital Minister said such programmes, to be publicly broadcast on any official media platforms and mainstream channels, is highly encouraged in line with the practice of democracy in the country.
"For me, as a country that practices democracy, we must engage in mature politics, and that includes the practice of debates,” he told reporters when met at the nomination centre at SMK Sungai Pusu near here Saturday . The Election Commission has set the state elections in Selangor, Negri Sembilan, Penang, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu to be held simultaneously with the Kuala Terengganu by-election on Aug 12, with nomination on July 29 and early voting on Aug 8.
"For example, we see political activists Papagomo and Wan Mahussin engaging in debates on TikTok and many people watched them. So, I’m sure social media platforms will become even more lively,” he said.
