It was a superb run for Indonesia as a country at the Macau UADC's Closing Dinner tonight,which honoured Bakrie University - on its maiden appearance - first as the EFL Champion, and second as producing the tournament's Best EFL Speaker.

The London School of Public Relations, another first-timer at the UADC, also made it to the grand final.
Other semi-finalists were the Institut Pertanian Bogor (Bogor Institute of Agriculture) and the BINUS INTERNATIONAL Pool of English Debaters (BIPEDS).
All 4 debate institutions are considered to be relative newcomers in the Indonesian debate scene, having been established or recently rejuvenated in the past 4 years or so.
It is hoped that this is indicative of a more even distribution of debate talent in Indonesia, and will generate even more support for teams attending international tournaments - a trend that can only help raise the bar for Indonesian debate as a whole.
Congratulations to the teams, the best speakers, and their respective coaches!
Many, many thanks to Andrew W Sadeli (BIPEDS) and Jozef Thenu (LSPR) for their valuable updates and photos!
