INTI College Subang Jaya (ICSJ) emerged champions in the third INTI Inter-Campus Debate Championship recently.
Eighteen teams from INTI’s associate campuses, as well as institutions under the INTI International Education Group, took part in the debate at the INTI International University College (INTI-UC), Putra Nilai.They included participants from INTI-UC, INTI College Sarawak, INTI International College Penang and Metropolitan College.
The winning team – comprising Seow Wei Liang, Leonard Chen Wei Rong, Aaron Cheng Wai Tuck and Yasmin Ahmad Kamil Yusof, all American University Programme students – defeated INTI College Sarawak in a thrilling finale on the motion “The Malaysian Government Should Censor the Internet.” ICSJ proposed the motion.The team took home a challenge trophy, a hamper and RM250. The win was the first for ICSJ since the debate was introduced three years ago.
Winning team leader Wei Liang said the four teams fielded by ICSJ went in as the underdogs and had felt intimidated right from the beginning when they found out that they were going up against formidable teams from Sarawak.“As we advanced in the competition, our confidence grew and we told ourselves we must win,” he said.
Leonard said the team was of one mind in wanting to give their best and at least take ICSJ further into the competition than it had done last year.“By the time we got to the semi-finals, we got feedback that we had been stepping up our game at every round.“That, to me, meant that we had a good chance to be champs, so we gave it all we had,” he added.
School of Languages and Liberal Arts dean Dr Wong Fook Khoon said she was proud that the winning team had put ICSJ at the top of the league.lICSJ has recently launched an alumni webpage, I-ASK@INTI, in its website www.intisj.edu.my.
