#7 Universitas Indonesia 1 (Dimas Hokka, Riza Aryani, Subarkah Syafruddin) today defeated #2 Universiti Malaya 1 from Malaysia, ensuring a place in the ESL semifinals of the 2011 Australasian Intervarsity Debating Championships. They will face a team from Japan's #6 International Christian University that eliminated #3 Binus International, the other Indonesian institution which made it to the ESL quarters.
The UI debaters had a 4-4 record from the preliminary rounds after beating Macquarie University 4 from Australia, Koreans Underwood College and Chung Ang University, and Peking University from China. They are fighting to repeat the achievement of another UI team (Tirza Reinata, Intan Hadijah, Freida Siregar), which won the Australs ESL crown in 2009. The other ESL semi will be between #4 University of Hong Kong 1 and Ewha University's #8 EDiS 3, which knocked down #1 Multimedia University of Malaysia in a debate that was chaired by UI's Ignes Pricillia.
