PAD120: Debate 101

When I asked students to come to my office last Thursday, most of them didn't even bother. I wait till 2.30pm before clocking the card at 2.45pm. The reason I asked them to come is to brief them as what to do when the debate commence on this Sunday.

Today, as I comfortably watching Legend of the Guardians at brand new TGV cinema in Mesra Mall, I got an sms asking what kind of debate question should they be expecting. My reply was: "Debate question la ... what else."

Well, no matter how I hate to do this, what choice do I have? sigh**

So much for Y-Generation? I think we overrated them - only if you know what I mean.

Cut story short, here some guide for the debate:

BEFORE the debate:

• There are 6 groups for class AMD1PB - thus, there will be three GOVERNMENT groups and three OPPOSITION groups (hopefully you know what GOVERNMENT and OPPOSITION suppose to do!) 
• Each round will has one GOVERNMENT and one OPPOSITION. As the team positioning themselves well, the motion will be released 
• Once motion is released, each team has 15 minutes to discuss the motion accordingly After 15 minutes, the bell will be rang indicating the debate will commence

DURING the debate:

• As the debate is unstructured, there will be no specific round. Therefore, when the GOVERNMENT starts the round, the OPPOSITION can at any time PoI (point of information - mencelah) them and vice versa. 
• Not all of PoI should be answered - depending on how each team viewed them [but it surely will add up your marks if you allow and answer it] 
• Time allocated for debate is 10 minutes. After ten minutes, the group will be given 3 minutes to sum up their argument and 2 minutes to present it - (the summary round will start by the OPPOSITION)

AFTER the debate:

The instructor will do the evaluation and the groups will be freed and liberated! Hurrah!!!

As for the question, please don't expect this kind of question:

"Discuss FIVE sources of law."

But, this …

“Unitary System of Government: A Practical Solution for Country’s Development.”

So, what’s next?

Read all the topics listed thoroughly that you’ll talk about it in your dreams. Be prepared.

Let’s the show begins!

The Problem with Written Constitution

Geez, we are not so sure about the problem with the written constitution. Whether the constitution is written or not, it doesn’t matter right ?

For us, the underlying main problem is the constitutionalism. Having written constitution doesn’t mean that your country is systematic enough, and having no written constitution ( unwritten constitution ) also doesn’t mean that your country is in wreak-havoc.

It is just a matter of constitutionalism or not. Am I right ?

Subjectively, we see that there are 3 situations.

1.       Having written constitution – having constitutionalism

2.       Having written constitution – having no constitutionalism

3.       Having no written constitution - ? ( need to ask miss Fisha again lol )

Let’s say there is a country A, and it has the written constitution. Now, at this stake, it depends on the ruler also. The ruler want to follow the constitution or not, it depends.

“should not be taken to mean that if a state has a constitution, it is necessarily committed to the idea of constitutionalism. In a very real sense… every state may be said to have a constitution, since every state has institutions which are at the very least expected to be permanent, and every state has established ways of doing things." But even with a "formal written document labeled 'constitution' which includes the provisions customarily found in such a document, it does not follow that it is committed to constitutionalism. “ ~ David Fellman

Written Constitution ; Right or Wrong

Salam Happy Merdeka Day ! Today we gonna give our opinion regarding the Written Constitution :)

Our constitution is the supreme law of Malaysia. In other words, our constitution is the highest law in Malaysia and the government must obey the constitution. Constitution is divided into two ways which is Written Constitution and Unwritten Constitution. Our country is practising the Written Constitution.

However, there is some problem regarding the Written Constitution. First, not all rules and laws can be written into this constitution in one time. For example, our constitution had mentioned that the council can be dispersed. However, it never mention how the council can be disperse and how to use the power to disperse the council.

Furthermore, the its gives the supreme power to the Chairman of Parliament to shape the Parliament. The 'shape' of the Parliament including the number of the members and how many percent of the members with different races should be involve in the Parliament and this situation can lead to a conflict.

For example, let say if one day the members of the Parliament mostly represented by the Chinese or Indian compared to the Malays and this is not impossible if the right of the Malays as the owner the Malaysian is gone. If our own country is conquered by the boarders, so what is the mean of having the tittle of Constitutional Monarchy?

The history of 13th May which is the race riot had happened when majority of the chairs in Parliament were won by the Chinese. In this case, we think the main factor that cause this event is because the Unwritten Constitution. In our Written Constitutions, its never mentioned how many people from other race either than Malay can join the election.

The character of the good constitution is it can be modified easily in order to satisfy the future needs. However, our constitutional is rigid and cannot be changed easily. If can, its takes difficult procedure and take a long time to be processed.

As we know our constitution was constructed before we achieve independence as one of the conditions to gain our own independence. So is it relevant to use the same constitutions which is was made in 50 years ago now? We know that our country had changed a lot after the independence. As we said just now, the constitutions should satisfy the future needs and represent the peoples voices.

The written constitutions should be comprehensive and futuristic but the one thing that the constitutions should be consider is regarding the Malays right because we think the point of having the constitutions in Malaysia is to maintain the Malay as Malay.

Thank you :)
