My dear readers
I'm very excited and happy when I got invited to Debate Challenge - The Great Debate - 17 Schools compete in Tunku Abdullah Debate Challenge 2019 (TADC) - Grand Finals at St. John's International School, Campus 2, Bukit Nanas on 7th July 2019.
Adjudicating at the debate are Y.A.M Tunku Zain Al'Abidin ibni Tuanku Muhriz, (Founding President of IDEAS - Institute of Democracy and Economic Affairs), Y.M. Tunku Halim bin Tunku Abdullah (Award-Winning Fiction and Non-Fiction Author), Y.Bhg Dato' Steve Day (Founder and Chief Executive Vision Four Media Group), Y.M Datin Dr Hjh Raja Mazuin bte Raja Abdul Aziz (VP,MELTA) and Mr. Tony Collingridge (MD, Delta Gate Solutions) with Y.M. Tunku Dato' Seri (Dr) Iskandar Tunku Abdullah presiding as the organising Chairman of TADC.
The TADC was established with two primary objectives to generate critical thinking on primary issues of given and encouraging students in Malaysian schools to express their opinions and to develop public speaking skills as well to cultivate contemporary thinking skills. It was created to honour the late Tunku Tan Sri Abdullah son of Malaysia's first Yang di-Pertuan Agong. The late Tunku Abdullah was celebrated for his success in the world of e-commerce development and politics, as well as his generous charitable endowments and philanthropy. The debates follow the Asian Parliamentary format, with two teams of three debates each proposing and refuting a given motion. The two-day event also includes workshops and seminars to promote learning exchange amongst students to improve their language and critical thinking skills. Dedication to the debating discipline is sure to stand these bright young students in good stead for the future.

BalasPadamCongratulation to the winners. This kind of competition really good in making sure students these days have great communication skill plus thinking skill.
BalasPadamI love seeing and hearing all these young ones throwing their ideas and defending their premises. They are so brilliant and I do hope that we keep on giving them the opportunity to voice out.
BalasPadamDebates are actually very interesting to hear especially when it comes to sensitive topics. Been a debater at school too but didn't managed to go far as I get lost of words when someone hits the correct point. LOL... Somehow miss those day. Wish my son would grow up and get involved in this kind of activity too as it helps to build needed skills in his journey to grow up. Especially the raise in confidence.
BalasPadamwow.. hebat adik-adik ni.. kalau sis la, mau terketor-ketor nak berhujah. Tahniah ye dik ye. Semoga teruskan usaha dan ebih cemerlang di masa akan datang. ha, mungkin inila wajah-ajah pemimpin akan datang

BalasPadamWow those who were in the debate team are all sharp thinkers and also have to have a very good knowledge. Congrats to all the winners.
BalasPadamI am honestly awed with those who can debate, especially youngsters, cos I cant do public speaking well lagi-lagi nak debate huhu
BalasPadamMasa zaman sekolah dulu, i takut nak berkawan dengan geng Debate ni. Sebab muka mereka serius. Mungkin apa yang dituturkan juga berfakta. Hahaha. Tapi bila dah dewasa ni, seronok tengok debate ni. Semuanya perkara benar dibincangkan. Debate paling best tengok YB Syed Saddiq tu. Haha
