UT Mara has seen its own fair share of victories heading our headlines this year. We're heading steps closer to achieve the former glory that once bequeathed itself during the years of Masai and Hafiedz. On the past weekend, UT Mara dispatched three teams to attend three different tournaments which took place:

• Jesselton Debate Open
• Ministry of Higher Education Cup
• The Prime Minister's Cup

We broke past these tournaments and even came to being finalists. But the real gem and power lay in the senior dream team leading in The Prime Minister's Cup '11. I drove to IIU to watch the Grand Finals between UT Mara and IIU and I can't express words to show how much inspiration and prowess they've driven - Moreover to debaters like me who's goal is to reach his first finals (something I've been vying for a year and more).

It was a tough fight but we emerged champions. The win was not for them alone, but for us. For UT Mara, UiTM and a whole representation of young students who's aspirations are nothing short to creating change. The sweet spot was having even PM Najib himself congratulations us, even if it was on Twitter.

I may have fallen out of the loop for a temporary moment, following my failure at the Asians and Australs season and the tournaments that proceeded it. But no more, I'm back in the game - And I intend to make the best of it. I will make my first finals, and if better, win it.
