Country-wise, Singapore (a country of five million) is ranked fourth in terms of Best Speaker winners, behind Australia, Canada and England.
The first Singaporean Best Speaker winner was Ms Chitra Jenardhanan in 1995. Representing Nanyang Technological University, she was also the first woman and the first Asian to take the trophy.
She is now head of project work at River Valley High and has been an on-and-off debate coach throughout her career as an educator.
In 2003, Dr Tan Wu Meng, representing Cambridge University, won it. He is now an oncologist at the National Cancer Centre.
Mr Li, a master's student in economics at Oxford, took the top individual honour at the event - known colloquially as the 'Worlds' and regarded as the most prestigious debating tournament in the world.
He is the third Singaporean to receive the award, cementing Singapore's status as a debate powerhouse. Since 1981, when the competition began, all Asian winners have been Singaporean.
