11 prepared speeches. 10 impromptu speeches. 2 champions.
Despite being contest day, not a single hint of nervousness could be sensed. Our ever-so-cheerful contest chair Jenny Au, DTM started off the contest by briefing the contestants and audience about the rules and regulations of the international speech contest. Then it began. The international speech contestants are:
Hareesh BN
Ken Chen
Norman Tan
Prasad Karnati
Riz Masurekar
Rudy Tan
Salma Begum
Sathiyamoorthi
Thomas Selvaraj
Wee Chee Sian
Zulhafni Zulkeflee
Right after all the speeches were
delivered, the judge ballots were immediately collected and the refreshment
break began. With a sumptuous spread of delicious food, everyone thoroughly
enjoyed themselves.
The contest chair then read the
rules and regulations of the table topics contest before picking out the table
topic for this contest. The contestants were then ushered out of the room, not
before confiscating their handphones. Don’t worry, they were returned after the
contest. The contestants are:
Alice Ow
Hareesh BN
Rasu
Riz Masurekar
Roger Yap
Rudy Tan
Salma Begum
Senthil
Thomas Selvaraj
Zulhafni Zulkeflee
Again, the judge ballots were
immediately collected and the results were tallied. Tokens of appreciation were
then presented to all contestants, appointment holders and judges. Good job
everyone!
Finally, it’s time for the
announcement of the contest results. The winners are:
