Student win a Full Tuition Fee Waivers to Sunway College in Public Speaking Competition

“The global education system today is far too focused on standardised text. This approach is great at creating individuals who are intelligent, but has yet to create the kind that helps the society progress in meaningful ways. This text reveals nothing of their common sense or wisdom despite the fact that these qualities are enormously important in making the world a better place.” This was one of the points made by Shameena Gill of SMK(P) Methodist, Ipoh who took home the champion trophy at the Oxford and Cambridge Society Malaysia 15th English Language Event: Public Speaking Competition 2017 at Sunway College.

“Plastic didn’t decide to kill itself, to jump into the river and cause pollution. We are the ones who decide there’s the trash bin and there’s the river. So why blame plastic for pollution when we are the ones who decide to throw our trash into the river and not into the rubbish bin”, this was one of the points made by seventeen year old Ethan Ganes who emerged as Champion in the Public Speaking & Essay Writing Competition 2014.

The competition organised by Sunway College together with the Oxford and Cambridge Society of Malaysia saw a crowd of 792 fourth and fifth formers, led by 88 teachers from 49 schools, as far away as Ipoh, Seremban and Melaka attending the event.
