Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has agreed to having his debate with Tourism and Culture Minister Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz postponed to April 7 and to be held in Shah Alam.

"Confirmed. He will attend the debate on the same issues as stated before," Mahathir's lawyer Haniff Khatri Abdulla told Malaysiakini.

“It is hoped the government does not come up with some other gymnastics to have this adjourned debate to be derailed again,” Haniff added.
