Newsflash

One of our most prominent debater, by the  name of SAYMUM SHABBIR arrived from Sydney last night. Look around and you'll see him going up to people and showing off his "Austrailian haircut".. (Muhahaha).. that would be him.... :p

Roll Call

Roll Call is on, as I blog away.. Universities MIA as of now is UT MARA... and we are waiting.... 


My general perspective of the crowd's mood is that everyone's pretty much chirpy and all that, and all ready to indulge in the debates ahead! Woohoo! Lets GO OIC!


and Bro.Latif has begun with the roll call for the adjudicators... Lets hope they are nice and kind to you debaters during the rounds :p

Demo Debate

The optional training held yesterday was wrapped up with a demo debate. We had six representatives from each country debating alongside, on the motion "THB that Wikileaks champions Global Democracy" (correct me if I'm wrong) Bangladesh was represented by Rishad Sharif, Eqypt was represented by Isra, Shamaoon Ahmed Shah represented Pakistan, A-Hat from Malaysia, Qatar was represented by Fahad Al-Khater and Kasym Rah Mankulo represented Kyrgyztan.

The Government bench consisted of Pakistan, Malaysia and Kyrgyztan whilst the Opposition bench included Qatar, Bangladesh and Eqypt.

The Government bench emerged winners. Although the crowd dissented on the judgement and voted for Opposition. Unfortunately for Opp, it's the judge's call and not the audience's :p
