Besides the treats which the participants enjoyed, the debating activities were ably managed by the Organising Committee led by Ms Flora Pan. Chief Adjudicator, Ms Nicole Ng, seamlessly mustered the combined young adjudication talents of the 4 DCAs Ah Young Kim (Korea), Andrew Nishizaki (Japan), Sandeep Chulani (Hong Kong) and Zhengbo (China) to provide fair and competent adjudication for all the debaters. Logan from Chung Ang University, Korea, and Loke Wing Fatt from SAID, Singapore, were the two invited VIP judges.
In the Grand Final, Underwood College Team 1 of Yonsei University in Korea, comprising Ms Nurliana Kamaruddin & Mr Wonjoon Jang, were the unanimous Champions. They overcame 3 other top Korean debate teams in an all-Korean Grand Final, reminiscent of last year's edition. The motion in the Grand Final was: This House believes that drug addicts should only be eligible for social welfare under condition of rehabilitation.
