Debaters from Universitas Indonesia grabbed the school's third debating trophy in 9 days after championing the Perbanas Marketing Debating Competition yesterday. While PMDC was a competition using Indonesian and did not use a known format, the participants came from all over the country and the core of the winning team are members of English Debating Society Universitas Indonesia.
Iki Sari Dewi and Agita Nalsalia, along with non-EDS UI member Amadea Novia Ferty, eliminated host Perbanas Institute in the final that was broadcast live on radio. The judges mostly were marketing experts and the motions had an economics theme.
The streak began on July 13 when EDS UI members Dimas Hokka, Riza Aryani and Subarkah Syafruddin won the ESL category of the 2011 Australasian Intervarsity Debating Championships in Seoul. Eight days later Hokka bagged another trophy with EDS UI President Ahdiat Permana when they defended their title as champions of Bawor Cup. Will the successful run continue at the upcoming 15th Java Overland Varsities English Debate, the country's first debating tournament using an internationally accepted format?
