PUTRAJAYA, July 25 (Bernama) -- The 50th edition of the Prime Minister’s Cup Debate Competition has reached its climax, with the top four teams set to compete in the grand finals of both the Malay and English language categories.

In a statement today, the Ministry of Education (MOE) announced that in the Malay category, reigning champions Sekolah Menengah Agama Persekutuan Kajang will face Sekolah Berasrama Penuh Integrasi Sabak Bernam.

In the English category, Sekolah Sultan Alam Shah Putrajaya is set to go head-to-head with Sekolah Menengah Sains Muar.

“The final for the English category is scheduled to take place today, followed by the Malay category tomorrow. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is expected to attend the finals and officiate the closing ceremony,” the statement read.

According to MOE, both finals will be broadcast live via EduwebTV and DidikTV channels.

In addition to the Best Debater Award, four new accolades have been introduced this year, namely the Anugerah Permata Bahas and Anugerah Tunas Bahas for the Malay category, and the Aspiring Team Award and Eloquence Award for the English category.

“These awards are part of MOE’s continued efforts to nurture student talent through this competition,” the ministry stated.

The MOE further emphasised that the competition serves as an intellectual platform to enhance language proficiency, critical thinking skills, and character development in line with the values of Malaysia MADANI.
