Going far with words


LONDON awaits the two winners of the English Speaking Union (ESU) Malaysia’s Public Speaking Competition 2003, Mia Germain-Palencia and Jean Lee. Beating six other finalists at the grand final of the competition last week, Mia and Jean persuaded, charmed, provoked and even shocked the adjudicators and audience with their views on the topic Why youth is wasted on the young, to clinch the top two places.  

If public speaking can be likened to a journey, the speech the itinerary, and the audience the travel companions, taking part in the ESU competition has certainly been an enlightening experience for these teenagers.
