On the 27th of May 2023, six students from Kuen Cheng High School participated in a debate tournament held at SMK Taman Desa 2 in Rawang. The students split themselves into two teams. Foo Xin Yu, Tan Hong Zher, and Ashley Chow Zu Ying were from team “Zhi Shan Zhong Xue” while Lucas Siah, Lim Zhi Yin and Phang Kor Yee formed team “Ren Ai Zhong Xue”.
The tournament consisted of three preliminary rounds, the semi-finals and the finals. Team “Zhi Shan Zhong Xue” won their first two rounds while “Ren Ai Zhong Xue” won their last two rounds. Although both teams won two out of the three rounds, they did not make it into the semi-finals. However, Tan Hong Zher did manage to achieve a great feat for being ranked the third best speaker in the tournament.
The teams learnt a lot from this tournament, especially for being able to debate with highly skilled people from other schools. They vowed to practice even harder, and to do well in upcoming tournaments. Kudos to everyone who participated.
