SINGAPORE - Mr Darrion Mohan, a Singaporean student at the University of Oxford, has found himself thrust into the limelight after engaging Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad in a debate, with some Internet users praising him and others saying he was too confrontational.
The 22-year-old pointed out, however, that the Oxford Union - where the forum was held - was "fundamentally a debating society".
