Policy Studies 2009 Grand Finals

13 March 2009

Out of 16 teams, the best 2 teams would compete to clinch the Championship for Policy Studies 2009 Grand Finals. The motion of the debate is THW legalise pornography. The proposition is Raffles Junior College and the opposition is Pioneer Junior College.

After months of planning, meetings after meetings, the BIG day finally arrived! I collected the certificates and reached campus at 4pm, where we brought the logistics to the venue (LT 17).

As the event was open to public, I rallied all my contacts to attend the Grand Finals. I truly appreciate Hock Rong, Chee Lee, Liling, Hao En as well as Stephanie and Dorothy (who didn't manage to find the place) for their support.

I conducted the briefing at 5.30pm and participants began to walk in.

The Guest-of-Honour is Mr Teo Ser Luck, Senior Parlimentary Secretary, Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports & Ministry of Transport.

I was the timer for the debate session. With me was the emcee and chairperson for the debate, Soo Kuang. He is the President of NUS Toastmasters Club and we had a great talk over our Toastmasters experience before the event.

The judges were Dr Daniel Pellerin from the Political Science Department, FASS, NUS and Dr Cheah Wui Ling from Faculty of Law, NUS.

Both teams fought hard during the crossfire. The Championship eventually went to Raffles Junior College, who walked away with $600 cash prize and trophies. Pioneer Junior College walked away with $400 cash prize and trophies.

We had a small chat with Mr Teo during refreshments. He could still remember us from a meeting that we attended a few days ago.
