UI's Australs 2011 contingent (L to R) : Subarkah Syafruddin, Dimas Hokka, Riza Aryani, and adjudicator Ignes Pricillia |
Universitas Indonesia's recent win in the ESL category of the 2011 Australasian Intervarsity Debating Championships made headlines. Several Jakarta-based media outlets, including Indonesia's most read news portal detik.com and the country's leading business daily newspaper Bisnis Indonesia, ran the stories, which were heavily commented and tweeted afterwards.
The victory in Seoul gives UI its second trophy of the year after winning the ALSA E-Comp last May. UI defeated University of Hong Kong earlier this week in a final that debated labour in Southeast Asia. Another UI team won the ESL of Australs in 2009, also beating debaters from Hong Kong over a ASEAN-related motion.
