Dear all,
That's what the CIMB Group World Universities Peace Invitational Debate (CIMB WUPID) is all about.The four-day event beginning Dec 16, will see top debating teams from 30world-renowned universities trying to outwit each other on the theme, "Peace: Respect, Tolerance, Togetherness".
The reigning world debating champions from Sydney University, along with the three top-ranked debating teams from Oxford, Cambridge and Hart House University of Toronto will be vying for top honours.CIMB Group Corporate Communications head, Effendy Shahul Hamid, said CIMB was proud to organise the world-class event where the best debaters could engage in a civilised, intelligent disagreement, on peace.
"Only the best debating teams were invited to participate in the event," he told a press conference here Wednesday."Malaysia will be represented by Universiti Teknologi MARA, the Multimedia University and International Islamic University."The winner takes home the prize money of RM10,000 and the CIMB WUPID challenge trophy.CIMB fully sponsors the current top four ranked debating teams. The rest of the teams need only pay for their trip to Kuala Lumpur, while everything else is on the house.
The preliminary rounds will be held at Universiti Kuala Lumpur, the quarter-finals and semi-finals at the Novotel Hydro Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur, and grand final at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.The public is invited to witness the battle royale. Entrance is free.
