our story
MEDC originated its history as a debate competition from the 2017 Maitreyawira Fair, we developed a big interest in holding an event that is exclusively for, and about debate. As debating has altered our views on a variety of notions, it invigorated an establishment for a new, amazing, and revolutionary platform that everyone yearns for each year; MEDC. Everything started off as a regional competition in 2018 that we never thought would last long, but the legacy has and will prevail for the story to pass on, even until the present time of 2024, and that is all thanks to you, debaters, for making this event possible.Uncovering several intriguing records as we established the forum by delving into the concept of Principiis Trium trilogy from 2017 to 2019, soaring high into the Surrealistic World in 2020 and diving deep into Atlantis in 2021. In 2022, presenting the 4 Cardinal Virtues. We marked the beginning with the concept of Prudence, to discern either virtuous or vicious. Persisting with the next virtues, we went deeper to seek Justice in 2023, rendering morality to not dwell on inequity.In 2024, MEDC is making a triumphant return with a fresh and innovative twist. Under its new identity as MXDC (Maitreyawira Debating Championship), the ‘X’ refers to the X variable in mathematics, symbolizing the unknown, or something that is in need of searching. It signifies the diversity of agendas MXDC will showcase, adding an essence of mystery to the upcoming years. Continuing to the Third Cardinal Virtue: Fortitude as its guiding principle, MXDC is set to challenge participants to exhibit unwavering courage, resilience, and determination in the pursuit of excellence in debate. As it redefines itself, MXDC promises to be an exciting and inclusive arena for aspiring debaters.Debating is not only an outcome. To be culminated as the winner, never overlook the process, arrange strategies, and enunciate your words to be heard for divulgence.Are you ready to kickstart your debating journey in 2024 with us?

a word from the head committee
of 2018 MEDC: Satya Bodhi
Beginning our journey as a lacking and imperfect tournament, the committees have since reflected on their strengths and weaknesses to further assess what can be improved for the future MEDCs. Throughout the years, the committees have never stopped thinking and evaluating newer and better systems to be implemented in MEDC, with the humble aim of creating an efficient, effective and impactful competition.We pride ourselves in some of the most creative innovations in a high school tournament, ranging from the self-built MEDC Timer, MEDC Website, Barcode Re-registration System, and many more. MEDC, without a doubt has become a pioneer to its peers, not only in facilities and technology, but also in terms of quality and prestige. 2021 MEDC will not be an exemption, newer and cooler innovations awaits you. So buckle-up, and prepare for a crazy ride in 2021.

a word from the head committee
of 2019 MEDC: Howard Young
As a community, we wonder a lot about things to come. We are not fortune-telling wizards; we cannot predict the future. We could only prepare for the worst and try our best. That discontent was our inspiration for years of organizing. It taught us to achieve things that we thought were impossible.I personally believe that MEDC was built on a simple ethos: "we make plans but also mistakes, so face it, fix it and improve." This applies for all of us, debate-related or not. To follow it as a perspective allows yourselves to open the spare rooms for improvement to work out.That is what we are here for; to offer a sweet chance to anyone looking to work it out and get that juicy, juicy debating experiences.
Dive deep into the abyss and discover the underwater secrets of the debating world, and of course, discover yourselves, your strengths and weaknesses. You would know what to do next.Good luck in 2019.

of 2021 MEDC: Aloysius Kang
Continuing the goals that have been set by the previous committees, we strive to hold a high quality competition that can bring useful experiences for all debaters across Riau Islands. Despite not being able to hold MEDC offline, we promise to bring new innovations and experiences that will surely leave an impression to the participants.Despite the unforeseeable future, which has caused a change of plans for 2021 MEDC, we thought to ourselves that we should not give in, we have to be a platform where everyone can learn and get better. No matter what comes our way, we will find a way to realise our goals and that is making MEDC 2021 as best as possible regardless of the situation.As much as we want to hold this event offline, we must prioritise the safety protocols and help break the COVID-19 chain, and you should too.See you in 2021 MEDC.

a word from the head committee
of 2022 MEDC: Gracelynn Chandra
For the last few years, watching MEDC beat its own standards every year has been an eye-opening experience, and it has always felt right for me to continue it’s legacy. This year as well, we strive to uphold that same standards by bringing debaters together to learn, grow, and feel the joy of debating and winning a competition.We have always believed that the essence of debating is also to be able to think and make judgements sagaciously, and see far ahead beyond what others see, and debaters that can show a perfect example of that, are one deserving the title of Champion.Divulge your skills and see whether you're deemed as virtuous or vicious.See you in 2022 MEDC.
