Motions for English Debate National Level

Just back from the 2-day gruelling ASEAN Scholarship Selections Test and not even a few days to rest, our motions for the English National Debate just came in. Yes, we're now officially representing Penang, something which was impossible in 1999 and 2000 when we were State Champions for the Piala Tan Sri Datuk Seri Panglima Dr. Abdul Rahman Arshad back to back. I'm proud to say, our English Debate team finally made history. For the first time, Chung Ling is representing the state in the nationals for English Debate. But of course, that's not really the full story, something which I'll ramble on in my next post. Suffice to say, there were things that were changed, because if not, surely back then in 1999 or 2000, we would have been able to represent.

Anyways, here are the 4 motions.

First Round: This house believes that EQ, not IQ determines how successful a person will become.

Quarter-Finals: This house would let the information superhighway runs free

Semi-Finals: This house believes that well done is better than well said.

Finals: This house believes that good things come to those who wait

It's going to be held on the 7-10 of Julai in Kelantan, so that leves only a mere 3 weeks for preparation. 4 motions, 8 sides, 3 weeks. Sounds like herculean task to me, not to mention a certain handicap we have now (more on that in my next post). But no matter how, I'm sure we'll put our hearts into it and I'm sure something we'd be proud off will be achieved.
