MINI REPORT
A total of 27 committee members were appointed from Sekretariat Anak Johor Darul Ta'zim (SEJATI) and 8 people were elected to be the Speaker, including myself. The task received required me to be the Speaker throughout the debate program conducted according to the session received. In addition, I also need to be a timekeeper to ensure that the participants are on time so that the program runs tentatively. Initially, I joined this program because Yayasan Pelajaran Johor (YPJ) gave trust and responsibility to Sekretariat Anak Johor Darul Ta'zim (SEJATI) as the host. Since the distance between my house and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) only took 1 hour and a half, I agreed to accept the position along with the other committee members.
The Graduate Attributes that are focused on this program is communication skills. Throughout the program, I as the Speaker had to communicate to the participants as well as to the other committee members. To keep the program running smoothly, I had to ask about things that were difficult to understand during the meeting. This indirectly increased my confidence in communicating with outsiders.
On the other hand, adaptability was also one of the graduate attributes that can be found in this program. This is said so because this is the first time I participated in the program with committee members from Sekretariat Anak Johor Darul Ta'zim (SEJATI) which made me a bit unfamiliar or know each other. But on this program, I was able to get to know each other and adapt to new environments and people.
This debate program involves several public universities in Malaysia, among them are UKM, UPSI, UNIKL, USM, UTHM, UIA Pagoh, MARSAH, KPMSI, UMK, UUM, UTM, UPNM, UITM Negeri Sembilan, UMP, and KUPTM. Each of the congregation custodians was assigned a respective conference according to the university that had been assigned to each round. In the final round, participants from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) managed to grab the first place which is the overall champion of this program. Congratulations to all the winners and participants.
SELF-REFLECTION
The program has provided new knowledge and insights on how university level debate tournaments are conducted according to the right process. I am a bit shy and introvert when meeting new people but after joining this program, I became more comfortable and easy to communicate with other committee members as well as make many new friends. In the success of this program, the nature of cooperation with each other can be strengthened in me as well as I can adapt to the atmosphere and new people.
However, there are many challenges that I and other committee members face in making this program a success. At first, we all stayed in a homestay paid for by Yayasan Pelajaran Johor (YPJ) with complete facilities including WIFI. But due to the low speed of the WIFI, it has disrupted some of the ongoing debates. With the help of the jury, they were able to assist us as court custodians in case we dropped out of the debate session. To prevent the same incident from happening again, we all agreed to go and get into UTM to use the internet there which is faster and easier for us to do the work. For me, this program is a very challenging program but alhamdulillah, other committee members and I were able to go through the challenge together. The variety of new knowledge, skills, and knowledge I gained and can be used for me in the future.
