4 students from International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) have made the nation proud by winning the world's
top speakers in three debate tournaments hosted by the Durham, Oxford and
Cambridge universities. This tournament is among the toughest and most
prestigious in the world. For me, the biggest challenge of this tournament is that
the debaters have to prepare their case without having any help from outside
resources. To do
so, they must be all well informed
about everything and the topics given ranged
from politics, sociology, law, economics and
religion.One of the debaters was also ranked
in the top 10 best speakers.
Commenting on the secret of success, hard work is the key as they have to
undergo training and read tonnes of articles, journals
and news every day.
Another added that having a good routine,
and planning are important to create a balance
between their life as a student and a debater.
