multiple awards and competitions and is the current world record holder for being the highest

three-time Asia’s Best Debator and a three-time best debater of the Australasia, Cambridge and
Oxford Inter Varsities Debate Championship (ESL) from 2012 to 2014. When he is not busy being a
politician and debating at the world’s biggest competitions, he conducts lectures on debates and
international relations and this is done regularly, both locally and abroad including Qatar, China and
the Philippines. Recently, he was announced as the recipient of Oxford University’s distinguished
Blavatnik School of Government scholarship, where he would be pursuing his Masters. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
