Our heartiest appreciation goes to our representatives from Kelab Debat Bahasa Melayu (KDBM UIAM) for their amazing efforts and stunning achievements in the recently held Pertandingan Debat Alam Sekitar Antara Institusi Pendidikan Tinggi Ke-29 this year. The team consisting of Br Aiman Izdihar, Br ‘Aqil Mujahid, Sr Syahirah Balqis and Sr Hanan Badariah managed to break the preliminary rounds with astounding record of complete winnings from all of 5 rounds held. Their achievement during the first course of the competition surely set a certain standard of our debaters’ capabilities. Their journey continued further on the quarter final as the second course of the competition resumes physically at UTHM, Johor.

Our representatives definitely posed tough challenges for the remaining teams competing despite not qualifying onto the semi final stage. Furthermore, the team member; Sr Syahirah Balqis managed to steal some moments during the closing act as she won the Best Debater Overall for this competition. We surely hope that this memorable experiences serve them benefits and guidance for the future and ummah inshaAllah.
