Find a Peranakan...

Dick Lee
Malacca Peranakan

"Keroncong music makes me feel Peranakan."










Tanya Nair
Chitty Malaka Peranakan and Chinesee Peranakan

"When I go to India ... they tell me - you have an Indian name, are you one of us? You belong to us. What a beautiful thing to say to someone who has not been back since the 15th Century! I want us to say the same thing. Are you Peranakan? You belong to us. Are you Singaporean? You belong to us."


Ibrahim Tahir
Jawi Peranakan

Being Peranakan means ".... being a cultural hybrid drawing from and identifying with different racial groups."
