The second annual edition of the Tunku Abdullah Debate Challenge (TADC) takes place in Kuala Lumpur - Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th July 17, schools from across Malaysia as Sibu, Sarawak - will compete over two days of energetic debating competition at Under 15 and Under 18 level. St. John's Internasional School (SJIS) and Direct English are co-organising the event.

Adjudicating at the debate are Y.A.M Tunku Zain Al'Abidin ibni Tuanku Muhriz, (Founding President of IDEAS - Institute of Democracy and Economic Affairs), Y.M. Tunku Halim bin Tunku Abdullah (Award-Winning Fiction and Non-Fiction Author), Y.Bhg Dato' Steve Day (Founder and Chief Executive Vision Four Media Group), Y.M Datin Dr Hjh Raja Mazuin bte Raja Abdul Aziz (VP,MELTA) and Mr. Tony Collingridge (MD, Delta Gate Solutions) with Y.M. Tunku Dato' Seri (Dr) Iskandar Tunku Abdullah presiding as the organising Chairman of TADC.

The TADC was established with two primary objectives to generate critical thinking on primary issues of given and encouraging students in Malaysian schools to express their opinions and to develop public speaking skills as well to cultivate contemporary thinking skills. It was created to honour the late Tunku Tan Sri Abdullah son of Malaysia's first Yang di-Pertuan Agong. The late Tunku Abdullah was celebrated for his success in the world of e-commerce development and politics, as well as his generous charitable endowments and philanthropy. The debates follow the Asian Parliamentary format, with two teams of three debates each proposing and refuting a given motion. The two-day event also includes workshops and seminars to promote learning exchange amongst students to improve their language and critical thinking skills. Dedication to the debating discipline is sure to stand these bright young students in good stead for the future.
