dont lie la...Arul statement confirmed that he also didnt know there's such condition as 1-sided "Question-Answer" on the so-called Talk-Show;
he didn't know what kind of the discussion is..for his logic, it shud be a talk from both side, be it discussion, debate, talk show, whatever the TV show called is
suddenly Tony Pua replied that it will be a 1-sided Question-Answer show..if that is, how can Arul counter-check facts & truth with Tony's information integrity..???
its obvious Tony chickened out

the 1st one is unofficial statement from Tony through his fb page..the 2nd one is official with different name..Arul responded the official invitation
put najib out of this..its Tony who wanna debate with Arul, not debate with Najib
must remember that Tony is a member of PAC that investigate 1MDB..Tony must become neutral as he's the one who ask for the show
Please read joe's posts. This isn't a question of logic but based on the words used. I don't know who's responsible for the mix up but the challenge issued on October 29 concerned a live talk show.

On 30th Oct, Malaysiakini reported "Pua: My PAC role more important than 1MDB debate" in response to Arul's initial condition that Pua must resign from PAC for the live talk show to happen. Tony Pua was quoted to have said "If I go on a debate (with Arul Kanda), even if he tells the truth, there's nothing I can do other than just that,"
https://m.malaysiakini.com/news/317783It was only on 31st Oct, after Arul dropped the condition, when Pua said “It should be a question-and-answer session and not a debate, because I am asking the questions".
https://m.malaysiakini.com/news/317903So Pua never said it was 2 different issues (debate and talk show) until today.
Anyways the Claire Brown connection is in regards to questions Arul would want to ask Tony Pua.
Since you're using Malaysiakini as your reference, this is from October 29:
http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/317595Arul's reply on the same day:
http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/317621Whether it was the media, Arul or Tony who made the mix up is uncertain. I can't view the entire Malaysiakini transcript but this appeared in Malay Mail:
“Stop giving stupid conditions, accept my challenge like a man and let’s meet on live television,” Pua told a news conference here.
“I am not surprised by his statement accepting my challenge but putting conditions which do not make sense.
“No rule of law says I cannot pursue matters of public interest outside of the PAC,”
Interestingly, the title of the article includes the word 'debate' and I think his first statement on October 29 is quite clear since he mentioned 'live talk show' and not 'debate'.
No mention of the debate is mentioned in this article by the Star on the 29th either:
