Anomali YEC News

So, what happen to all Anomali officers that have left the main HQ to seek job elsewhere? Apparently, much to our delight, they are still consistent in coaching debate, wherever they are. This time, Anomali would like to salute four of our senior coaches who are away and spreading the awareness. We would also like to pay tribute to our emerging junior coaches that were once our students.

Mr. Aribawa Pratama Assidiq aka Coach Bowo, who are infamously known for his uncanny method in coaching debate, has long left Anomali in Malang to pursue his fortune in Balikpapan, East Borneo. Even tough he is busy with his new work in Balikpapan, Mr. Aribawa took an initiative to approach one of the public school in the city to coach debate in his free time. From this initiative, Coach Bowo has been coaching in Balikpapan for two years and counting. Due to the scarce opportunity of Parliamentary English Debate Competitions in Balikpapan, Coach Bowo decided to bring his kids to Jakarta to participate in All Law Students Association (ALSA) Debate Championship, a decision which was supported by the Balikpapan government in form of airfare tickets. The students managed to get the 2nd runner up place in the first performance in Parliamentary Debate, in one of the toughest competition there is in national scale. After that, the achievements just pouring in, and making Balikpapan Public School I in the map of one of the best school in Debating in Indonesia.

We would also like to congratulate Coach Bowo and his students of breaking into the Octo-Final round in Indonesian High School Debate Championship. Congratulations Safira, Ruth and Elza from all of our staffs.

Mr. Arie Sinardi aka Coach Widey has long been busy with his work in Jakarta, yet however, he still managed to go back and forth to Bandung to Coach the students in Indonesian Education University (UPI). Under his tutorship, UPI debaters have experienced a significant boost in their skills as proven by attaining the 1st Runner Up in National University English Debate Championship (NUEDC) region B1.

Ms. Andriani Pipit aka Coach Pip recently was the coach of Valiant Debate Club from Malang State University. She has maintained the high quality of debate in the university, mostly on her own expenses. When, Valiant debaters managed to reach the 2nd runner up in the Indonesian Inter-Varsity Debate Championship it was mostly the result of her handy work. She has recently moved to the Netherlands for some internship work there, and still plotting to coach debate the students in some high schools there.

Mr. Rizal Kuddah aka Coach Rizal is the only extension Anomali has in East Java region outside Malang Municipality. Not only that, but Coach Rizal is the only coach that manages to teach English Debate proficiency to the Indonesian Naval Academy sustainably. Under his tutorship, the Academy has been able to exist in Indonesian Debating world alongside other prestigious educational institutions. Moreover, Mr. Rizal also coaches the Public Highschools in Sidoarjo district area and sending their students to represents East Java in National Competitions. Thanks to coach Rizal, the Sidoarjo Public Schools have become prominent figures in East Java debating community.

We would also like to congratulate our junior coach, Coach Haris and Coach Asa. They were once students from Malang Public School IV under our tutorship, but now they have graduated and become the tutor themselves. It didnt take them long to prove their coaching abilities, since not long after, the debater from their school managed to won an all East Java Debate Competition held by Airlangga University in Surabaya. More importantly, CODE from Malang Public School IV has become a self-sustaining debate club.
