Let us congratulate the MMU Malay Debate team from PENTAS Club for winning 3rd place in Debat Antirasuah SPRM 2023. The event was held from 2 until 4 June 2023 in virtual and physical mode at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS). The competition was jointly organised by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), the Universiti Malaysia Debate Council (MADUM), the Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), and the Dewan Bahasa Dan Pustaka (DBP).
Our team was represented by Yang Fatin Syahira from the Faculty of Engineering, Sofea Irdina (Faculty of Law), Misha Qistina (Faculty of Law), and Arif Fahmi(Faculty of Computing and Informatics). They walked away with cash prizes of RM3,000. The team also was guided and mentored by Rafiq Akmal, MMU’s debate alumni.
The competition is open to the first 40 teams that register among IPTs in Malaysia. MACC Community Education Division Director, Datuk Razim Mohd. Noor said the objective of the competition is to educate students to be aware of the current situation and to be more courageous in voicing their opinions on the issue of corruption and integrity. It is hoped that this achievement would inspire other MMU students to engage, participate, and show their potential in debate competitions.
Well done!
