2011 Macau UADC concludes

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.  

All in the family.  Members of the Indonesian contingent pose for posterity.

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!

See you at debateIndonesia's coverage of the 2012 MMU UADC!

By a 4-1 split, UPD triumphed over NTU1

NUS1 v NUS2

UPD1 v UPD2

with the grand final match-up an uncontestably high-calibre battle between NUS and UPD.

In the EFL category, Bakrie University, BIPEDS, LSPR and IPB won their respective matches against opponents from Indonesia, China, Japan, and Thailand to secure an all-Indonesian semis and finals.

M2 - THW punish financial institutions who fail to maintain liquidity in situations of market fluctuation.

2011 ALSA UI Updates - Motions for Semis

The 2011 ALSA UI debate competitions for both high school and varsity levels opened to a significantly thinned-out crowd for today's semifinal rounds. 

Seminfinalists SMA 4 Denpasar (A & B), St Albertus Malang (A), and SMA 1 Sidoarjo chose from motions dealing with 'Feminism and Children's Rights':

M1 - THW give children the right to sue parents for lack of love.

M2 - THBT government must give wages to stay-at-home mothers.

M3 - THW allow (sic) the burqa in every EU member (sic) country.

Not that one! Semifinalists veto motions on 'Women and Children's Rights.

Meanwhile, Bakrie University (A), BINUS INTERNATIONAL (B), Universitas Diponegoro, and Universitas Indonesia (A) chose which of these former motions to debate for the midday Semifinal round at the varsity level:

M1 - THW ban prisoners from publishing (sic) accounts of their crime.

M2 - THBT war journalists should be forced to reveal their sources (sic) before international criminal tribunals.

M3 - That the trials of alleged (sic) rapists of female victims should only be tried by a female judge and/or female jury.
