Parahyangan Law Debate Community, or also known by PLDC, is a community established on April 29th, 2010. The Founders consist of 9 students and 1 lecturer. The Students are William Sanjaya, Fernando Lintong, Stefanus Regi Eka Nugraha, Chris Aryadi, Dena Rizkia Imania, Marito Mondru, Tumbur Julianto, Calvary, Hendrick and the lecturer is Ms. Teti Marsaulina, S.H., LL.M.
In the beginning, the idea to establish this community was not coming out from the student’s initiative, but it was coming from our lecturer, Ms. Teti Marsaulina, S.H., LL.M. She was the guiding lecturer for the student who joined a competition at Faculty of Law, University of Indonesia. Having found the main team which would be competing at UI, she was commanding the team to look for the back-up team. The function of the back-up team is to support the main team by involved in research and debate simulation, and moreover, they were prepared in the purpose of becoming the next generation in debate competiton. After that matter finished, Ms. Teti gathered us at one place, and the meeting was just started. One of the meeting’s topic is the notion of the urgency to create this community. She revealed that FH Unpar, actually, was having so many great debater, but none of them come up to the surface. Futhermore, she admitted that those debate potentials inside the student should be brought in to a well organized community which is able to gain and improve their skills. So, she took us with her, and together building this community. A community where can be a home for students to get a step forward of headway.
By that discussion, on April 29th, 2010, the community eventually established. Then, we are all agreed to give it a name, as an identity, Parahyangan Law Debate Community or PLDC. The focus of this community are not only emphasizing on gaining and improving the students debate ability. Nonetheless, above them all, PLDC is focusing on preparing the next generation of FH Unpar debater and bearing an excellent generation.
Our motto is “The Passion for Truth and Justice”. There is no any justice without the truth. We seek for the truth to get the justice and we treat the people with truth so that they can feel what the real justice is, and of course, through this debate community, we can shine out the Glory of The Lord.
