Raffles-Debaters-2021

If you have ever debated or seen a debating competition, you would know how intense the pursuit is — your every move is scrutinised by your adversaries, and the verdict is resting on your ability to think logically and argue compellingly.
Debating is more than an oratorical sport. It is an avenue for us to explore the conundrums that can cleave a society and to inspect and interrogate arguments that have significant impact on critical policymaking. It is this impetus that fuels our passion in debating as we aspire towards developing a better and more reflective society.
