CCA Previews ’20: Malay Literary Drama Cultural Society
Reading Time: 3 minutes

By MLDCS Batch ‘20

The Malay Literary Drama Cultural Society is an affable and close-knit community that provides our members with a circle of friends that we can always rely on, even in the midst of the stresses of JC life.

As an events-based CCA, we do not hold weekly meetings, but instead organise several activities throughout the year.

Have you ever heard of CLDCS? Chances are, your answer is no. For one, CLDCS is a rather unnecessarily long and complicated name for a CCA that no one really knows what it stands for. Officially, CLDCS stands for Chinese Language Drama and Culture Society and no, we are not RI’s resident Chinese book club.
