The annual Dato’ CQ Teo Debate Challenge 2011 is back!

From a modest number of 12 teams at its inception, the tournament now sees participation of over 60 teams from all over Malaysia with the last installment of it being won by SMK Sri Permata after fiercely contending with SMK King George V on the motion “This House Believes That Religious Sites Are Legitimate Targets In Times of War”.

In keeping up with the KDU tradition of always being the first to innovate, for the first time, this tournament will introduce student adjudicators. We believe that it will be a platform to train students to adjudicate and be exposed to more than just debating.

When and where is it?

The tournament is capped at 60 teams; each school can only register one team as we wish to cater to the growing demand of schools wanting to participate.
