KDO 2011

First proposal approved ever! This was an all sponsored competition, courtesy of his last minute rushing of a proposal. Nevertheless, we had 3 teams going. This was the first time he partnered Kevin, and overall he thinks they could make a pretty decent team.

Round 1

THBT social networks sites should listen to their users

UPNM                OG  3
Unimas 2             OO  1
Uitm Sarawak 4  CG   4
USIM 1              CO   2

Clear win.

Round 2

THW establish women only battalions in the army

Unimas 3            OG   3
CITU 2               OO  4
CFS 3                 CG  2
Unimas 2             CO  1

Clear decision.

Round 3

THBT celebrities should not be allowed to have children

Unimas 2   OG 3
UT Mara   OO 1
San Beda  CG  4
SUTS 4    CO  2

Humour round. Not his best performance. Add that to having Shafiq as your OO being OG becomes a difficult job.

Round 4

THW not bail out under performing states in times of economic crisis

San Beda 1  OG    4
CFS 1         OO    1
Unimas2      CG     3
CFS 3         OO    2

Economic motions suck.

Round 5

THW ban  artists from performing in this country if they offend local sensibilities

CFS 3              OG    4
Suts 4               OO    1                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
Unimas 2           CG    2
IIUM Kuantan   CO   3

Managed to break at 5th place, along with Unimas 1 and Unimas 3.

Quarterfinals

THBT Natural disasters are man made

Unimas 2            OG  1
CFS 2                OO  3
Unimas 1            CG   2
Uitm Sarawak 3 CO   4

The weirdest debate he has ever been in, it wasn't principle or policy really, just a pure judgement debate. The weird part was when the entire opp bench conceded to everything Gov set up. Apparently no one wanted to contend the idea that man has contributed to global warming to the extent of causing natural disasters. But he did enough to secure 1st place, it being a bench win for Unimas made it all the more sweeter.

Semifinals

TH does not support remakes, remixes and reboots

Unimas 2  OG  3
UTMara   OO  1
Unimas 1  CG   4
CFS         CO   2

Again, terrible luck with getting OG twice in a row. Although now he knows that he can case set even under 5 minutes.

And so that was as far as Unimas went in KDO, nevertheless it was a good outing, and a good experience teaming up with someone like Kevin.

Up next, NIEW Great Gender Debate in Kuala Terengganu. White sands and blue waters here we come!
