Peranakan group hopes to revive once-popular traditional card game


MELAKA: A nearly forgotten traditional card game, once a unifying pastime for the local communities in the early days of the historic city, is experiencing a revival.

The game, known as "Cherki", is being popularised by Persaudaraan Kesenian dan Kebudayaan Peranakan Melaka (Sedara), an association dedicated to preserving Peranakan arts and culture.
