Bahas

My Tamil Class is cancelled, so I'm blogging.

Last week, I had my Pertandingan Bahas. Our usul during that time was 'Penambahbaikan dan Penyelenggaraan Kemudahan Awam Perlu Diadakan secara Berkala'. And, we were the government team.

So, this is what we (and I) can conclude. First of all, we got number 4 (just 2 marks from the Third Place). We were disappointed and sad actually, because everyone expect us to win. We ourselves have a great confidence to win after our Bahas. Our lecturers (Miss Halimahtun and Miss Azidah) also have that great confidence that we will win. And EVEN THE OPPOSITION team (during our match), supported us towards the end of the debate competition. Why? Because they have prepared technically wrong. And, during the second round, they totally gave up.

Talking about second round, this Bahas format is a bit weird. We have 2 rounds in one time (this is what they; the opposition team misunderstood).

After our Bahas, other lecturers came to us and said we did well. They even invited us to join Bahas IPTA/IPTS around September this year. (Copying Eric: OMD!!!)

But, once the results were announced, the opposition team (which gave up to us) won! First place. And we got fourth.

Although we were disappointed with the results, but our lecturers congratulated us because we really did our best. And we lose because of the 'sistem perjurian'. 

I felt disappointed with the 'sistem perjurian', because:

1. The judges even confused about the format: I'm the one who corrected them while debating! (Yes, we are right based on the format that was explained during the briefing session). Judges pun malu-malu. Haiz!

2. Their format is like this; they didn't 'tolak' or 'terima' usul! But, they select the champion based on the total mark (ranking). This is unfair for all of the team. Debate shouldn't be like this! What if you opposition team is not good? How your marks will be? Its unfair to be like that.

3. What do you expect the judges to judge if during the 'sesi perbahasan' some of them went out to toilet? How can they listened to the points?? 

4. And, how do you expect them to judge if they change the judges in the middle of the perbahasan? This is totally weird and unfair. We are very sure that they are not the debate-real-judges. Just simply known people who have been given respect to judge us.

However, thanks to Capek, Huzai and Harry for giving a good cooperation and teamwork. Thanks to Miss Halimahtun and Miss Azidah for the great supports. Thanks to all of my friends who supported us too!

P/s: We look like the MAS-Junior-Stewards, sitting during our briefing session. Hehe.
