As usual Malaysian, it will be all talk and talk and talk... I'm sure the air-conditionings were set at very low temperatures because of all that 'hot air' blown by these debaters in the dewan ! Getting into the book of records is an obsession for our simpletons !
Not everyone is impressed by such records !
hahhahahahhahahahah
WTF?
hahhahahahahaha
THE GREAT DEBATE?????
were they debating about the yacht? shouldn't these jokers go and help the flood victims down south?
HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHA
I love debates, but I dont get what the big fuss is about yet another 'record-breaking' event. They could even go as far as making it a 1000-hour debate, as long as they bring in even more schools. It seems trivial and, besides the logistical challenges in transporting the debaters to the venue, it's not such a difficult attempt.
better than pretending 5 times a day to pray inside a hidden room...
blessed r the sleeping hypocrites !
merry xmas Malaysian !
Memang UiTM's motto:
Talk Kok, Sing Song
MBoR is a sham for jaguh kampungs. Pikirlah benda-benda yang baik nak dibuat, inikan debat panjang! MP of the phuture?
ahhhh, nobody UNDERSTOOD that the OBJECTIVE of the debate was not to get into the MBOR!
