Wee claimed the invitation was seemingly done in a hurried manner, and that the DAP leader had previously said he would not engage in a debate with him.
Wee, who is also the Ayer Hitam incumbent, said he was also puzzled why Liew had backtracked all of a sudden after making his stance known during in a special media interview with a local Chinese daily several days ago.
"In the interview, Liew specifically said he is not going to take proactive measures to invite me for a debate, so why the invitation now?”
"I have only this to say to him, please walk the talk,” he said after launching his manifesto for Ayer Hitam in Yong Peng today.
Earlier today, Liew extended an invitation to Wee to a debate titled "The future of Ayer Hitam and Malaysia”.
In response to the invitation, Wee also said he has over a 100 planned programmes to attend throughout the campaigning period and he would focus his energy to educate his constituents on his performance as their elected representative instead or a debate.
"I have expected something like would happen and I believed he has the intention of doing so from the very beginning.
"However I have 46,000 voters to reach out to and for them to conduct a proper appraisal on the efforts I have made these five years and I would be occupied with my responsibilities first,” he said.
Wee also launched his manifesto today, which comprised of 15 main development core inclusive of 60 initiatives to be undertaken for the next five years in several sectors such as infrastructure, socio-economy, education, religion, health and security.
Wee said he hoped this would help the people of Ayer Hitam to achieve five main objectives that were increased wages, reducing economic burden, creating employment and business opportunities and ensuring a secured comfortable life for the people.
"The manifesto presented is the aspirations of all Malaysians regardless of ethnicity and beliefs to realise the ‘Negaraku Hebat’ dream,” he said.
