Tanah Jambu, Defence Academy, Friday 20th September 2019– The Officer Cadets of Intake 18 of the Officer Cadet School (OCS) held their first official debate event this evening. There to grace the event was the acting Commanding Officer of OCS, 768 Major Pg Siti Khatamal Zariah bte Pg Kamaluddin. In order to promote friendly competition between the Officer Cadets, the Officer Cadets were divided into a team consisting of Land Force Officer Cadets and another consisting of a combination of Airforce Officer Cadets and Navy Midshipmen. The aim of the event was to challenge the Officer Cadets’ skills in persuasion and presentation and also hoped to establish strong and confident speakers with high thinking capabilities within the Intake. Both teams fulfilled these goals as they displayed great confidence and passion as they debated on different leadership styles. The topics were ‘Millennial Leaders, Challenges and Opportunities for the future’ and the ‘Islamic Leadership Model.’ Each team managed to score wins in the two topics debated about and came out as equal victors, ending the night on a high note. It is hoped that this event is one of the many more to come.
