Sunway Chinese Debate Club was established in August 2017, which is one of the clubs affiliated with the Sunway University Chinese Cultural Society and has its committee structure.
In order to promote debate among students at Sunway University and enhance the students' thinking and expression skills, the Sunway Chinese Debate Club has organized various events and activities including book sharing sessions, current affair quizzes, detective games, and edutainment for the members to relax and enrich themselves in their busy university life.
Additionally, SCDC is dedicated to managing the SCDC's official social media accounts in order to satisfy the expectations of the modern information era. We wish to introduce the general audience to relevant contemporary events and concerns by developing various “for dummies” and photo albums as well as sharing them on social media.
Content topics created include: "All about Inflation", "The Danger below Earth", "Who Fired the Gun", "The Cost of Againsting the God", "Soft Skills ", and "The Flood".
In 2021, SCDC decided to step out of its comfort zone by organizing the first Sunway Mandarin Debate Tournament. The competition aimed to discover fresh talents and foster interactions between debate teams from various schools and universities. As a result, six teams from various colleges and universities have signed up to take part.
Although the club's activities have become more refined, it would still be impolite to disregard the debate team's commitment to compete in all significant debate competitions. The Sunway University Debate Team has produced a large number of exceptional debaters since its founding. The team has grown braver and braver in the debate field, eliciting the spirit of never giving up even when the team is new and inexperienced. Thanks to their love of debating and such enthusiastic spirits!
Tournaments Participated: “Northern Malaysia Mandarin Debate Tournament”, “The National Varsity Chinese Debating Championship”, “Hou Xue Cup” “UTM International Varsity Mandarin Debate Championship“
In June 2020, our society came out with a new regulation on membership policy which requires only RM15 for a year. Members can also renew the membership after a year with the payment of RM12.
Our hope for Sunway Chinese Debate Club is to organize more online and offline activities, representing the team on different tournaments and increase the quality of the activities!
New term, new attempt. Till September 2022, we have organized activities such as “Hi, debater!” and “Current Issue Sharing Session”. Through these events, we hope to learn and have fun at the same time!
The 2022/23 Executive Committee will move forward and hold more diverse and interesting activities, stay tuned!
If you are longing for a chance to step out of your comfort zone, if you are looking forward to a different university life, Sunway Chinese Debate Club will always welcome you with open arms!
