Man! English debate is driving me up the walls. After over a week of research and sifting through tons of information, I just realised how distorted the truth has become regarding EQ. Meeting so many dead ends, I doubt we can pull this off and this gets me really frustrated.
And what maddens me even more is the utterly illoigcal Bumiputra Rule that is crippling our team (I have no offence against you, Ebby). I shall not elaborate more as it gets more frustrating each time I try to say it out, but you can check out my previous post to see it. All I can say is, this messes up the very logic of selecting the best to speak as you're instead forced to select speakers based on their 'bumiputra' status.
Tomorrow a few people from Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri will be visiting us to supposedly train us and probably check in on our progress. We'll see how it goes. I'm praying it's going to be able to pull us out of this brink, but maybe I'm just hoping too much. Time will tell though.
I seriously wish to have a good experience as this is after all my first time participating in the national level English Debate competition. Is it so much to ask that we be given the fair chance of fielding our best, instead of handicapped team? I suppose not, but let me not forget that this is Malaysia, less I immerse myself in a far-fetched dream that I live in a place with equality.
