Scientists have developed a medical procedure that allows individuals to completely separate their work-related memories from their personal ones. When they are at work, they have no recollection of their personal life, and when they are outside of work, they have no memory of what happens at work. This creates two distinct streams of consciousness within the same person, commonly referred to as "work selves" and "personal selves."Scientists have developed a medical procedure that allows individuals to completely separate their work-related memories from their personal ones.

The point base system is a system in which individuals are judged based on their actions throughout their lives, accumulating points that determine whether they will be sent to the "Good Place" or the "Bad Place" in the afterlife. The system works by evaluating every action a person takes, with positive actions earning points and negative actions deducting them. The system is designed to reflect a person’s overall moral worth, taking into account both large and small actions. In this world, everyone will have access to everyone's scores

Traditionally, Petronas (Petroliam Nasional Berhad) the Malaysian national oil and gas company had control over the all oil wells in Sarawak including the offshore drilling rigs and pipes. In 2017, Sarawak had established Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (Petros), a state-owned company to manage its oil and gas resources. Shortly after a few years of long fought battle for independent ownership, Sarawak announced that Petros would take over Petronas' role in natural gas trading as the sole gas aggregator in Sarawak. This effectively separated Sarawak's natural gas trading model from that of the federal government's which controls Petronas.

Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP) is the mandatory national savings and retirement scheme for Malaysian employees. Employee's contribute 11% from their monthly salary whereas the employer contributes 12/13% for their employees as well. Members earn a yearly dividend on the total money saved. Members can withdraw all their savings upon reaching 55 years old or become incapacitated to work anymore. Currently, members are only allowed to withdraw for specific and major expenses such as housing, education and healthcare. Most Malaysians no longer have enough basic savings to meet the recommended savings amount when they retire especialy after the multiple one-off withdrawals during Covid-19.

For the purpose of this debate, artificial intelligence have enabled the creation of systems that can analyze a person’s digital footprint including social media interactions, text messages, voice recordings, and other online data to generate an AI model that mimics their personality, speech patterns, and behaviors. These AI reconstructions allow individuals to interact with a digital version of a deceased person through text conversations, voice messages, and even phone calls.

The Core Adjucation Panel (CAP) for each tournament has live access to teams feedbacks and scores given to judges after every debate round and they use this information to give judges specific roles (Chair/Panel) or room (top/bottom rooms) based on teams points.
