Malaysian Debate Open 2012.

This was the most competitive competition UNIMAS has ever been involved in. Nevertheless, they won 4 and lost to 2 Singaporean teams and a team of MMU Alumni. So other Sarawakian team broke either, though the Swinburne Alumni of Rafie, Justin and Wee Chung almost did. So here's how it went.
