Victor Ong, won the Best Speaker in Debate


27 March 2011, Sunday
~ By Victor Ong

Today, Klang Bilingual Toastmasters celebrated their fifth Anniversary and organized a debate to commemorate this occasion. Two formidable teams squared off. I was the second speaker with the opposing side and I represented Taman Indrahana Toastmasters. My other team-mates included Dennis Wee (D’Utama Advanced), Vincent Hoh (Metropolitan Bilingual) and Jonathan Moh (D’Utama). The other side started with the proposition that “Leaders are made, not born” and their members were Johnson Yike (Phoenix), Lee Xi Wen (TTDI), Shirley Cheok (Klang Bilingual) and Lawrence Hoo (Speaker’s Dream).

We did our best to turn the argument on its head, but we weren’t successful. We didn’t win. I was chosen the Best Speaker of my team, if that is any consolation for me. (For the other team, the Best Speaker award went to Johnson). Oh well, at least, I got the opportunity to experience a debate, Toastmasters-style.

Ice Breaker speech by Victor Tan: Introduction Fellow toastmasters, t oday I want to introduce to you a person that I used to know, someone whom  I hold close to my heart, someone who  I missed so much and someone whom I  hope soon  can be a part of  my life  again. H e is always  happy, full  of imagination and adventurous . He makes fun of himself and  likes to keep life as lightweight as possible. He is also  light hearted, humorous and creative as well. And most of the time he is liked by many because  he is positive  and  happy  go  lucky .  I believe he used to see the best in people around him and he wish people see the best in him as well.   He was a fun  and protective brother, a chivalrous friend,  and a stranger you can trust. He  is very passionate in the things that he likes. He  loves cars a lot (he even wishes his first car goodnight), he love comics and g...
