2014 PPM Southern Zone aka HKSBP @MOZAC, Melaka

UPDATE 3 @09/03  (1422hrs):
Received news that both the English and Malay Debate teams will be going to Terengganu.

UPDATE 2:
Round 5 - "Silent" Debate. v. Sekolah Kota Tinggi (SAKTI), Kota Tinggi-JOHOR
Motion:  " THBT Parent should have the absolute right to access all private communication of their teenage children. "

UPDATE 1:
Round 4 - "Silent" Debate. v. Sekolah Tun Fatimah (STF), JB-JOHOR.
Motion: TH Will allow the sale of parts of endangered animals which die from natural death.

Eldest best debate performance that I've seen to-date.
The "angry" debater is now making a transition to a "sarcastic" debater.
Phrases like "any one of you" when taking POIs or, "cannot give a point to save one's life" are signs that her debating skills are starting to mature.
Having said that, she need to work harder on her rebuttals. Other details that needs to be improved on are content outline/format, mannerism and basic approach + post-mortem.


>>>>>>>
There have been many changes since I last participated in the Prime Minister's Trophy or the Piala Perdana Menteri many, many moons ago.

For one - the name "Pesta Piala Perdana Menteri" is now known as "Hari Kecemerlangan Sekolah Berasrama Penuh - HKSBP". For another, due to the plethora of boarding schools - the HKSBP is now divided into zones. The top placed teams will then represent the respective zones at the National-level HKSBP which for this year will be held in Kuala Terengganu.

Yet another change or development is that there are now 2 different debate styles i.e. Asian-style and British Parliamentarian style as compared to just one around 2-4 decades ago.
