This unit uses the same 3D debate room for Motion 2 and focuses on the Affirmative Team's opening argument.

Your Debate Role

You are the first speaker for the Affirmative / Positive Team in Motion 2. Your task is to introduce your team's support for the motion and explain why tourism development in Kepulauan Riau should prioritise local Malay culture.

Affirmative Argument Structure

Use this structure to present your argument clearly:

Position: Our team supports the motion that tourism development should prioritise local Malay culture.
Main argument: We believe this is important because cultural tourism protects local identity and gives visitors a more authentic experience.
Reason: This is because tourism should not only entertain visitors, but also strengthen local communities and cultural heritage.
Evidence or example: For example, Malay cultural performances, local food, crafts, traditional music, pantun, and heritage sites can become meaningful tourism attractions.
Closing: Therefore, tourism development in Kepulauan Riau should place local Malay culture at the centre of its tourism identity.
