Its managing director TS Wong said while presenting the perfect opportunity for political debates within the current national political climate, the portal was intended to attract all forms of professional, intelligent and factual discourse well beyond the political sphere into all aspects of our daily lives.
"An online debate is more effective than face-to-face debates because it allows for well researched arguments and rebuttals while followers of the debate also have more time to absorb the gist of the argument," he said in a statement today.
He said the portal would be the benchmark where debates will undergo a radical evolution as debaters are better able to provide factual and credible responses based on proper research while readers can better judge for themselves based on the facts presented.
Wong said Similar to social networking platform, Twitter, ipidato offered debates that were conducted in a cost-effective and timely manner and convenience for followers to keep track of the latest updates.
