Media Release for Immediate Release Media Release For immediate release REDISCOVER THE PIONEERING SPIRIT AND PERSONAL LIVES OF PERANAKANS Singapore, 19 May 2015 – They have been well recognized for their culture, fashion, and food. Few may know, however, that Peranakans contributed significantly to the development of Singapore, since well before independence. The latest exhibition by the Peranakan Museum, Great Peranakans: Fifty Remarkable Lives, explores this aspect of the community, casting a spotlight on 50 individuals who made their mark on Singapore with their pioneering spirit in areas ranging from art and education, to business and public service. The exhibition is presented across three historical periods – Pioneering a Settlement (1819– 1889), Growing a Settlement to a City (1890–1945), and Growing a Nation (1946–1965). During the colonial period, cultural adaptability and fluency in English, Chinese dialects, and Malay enabled Peranakans to move easily in both the world of the Chinese community in the regions, 39 Armenian Street Singapore 179941 Tel +65 6332 7591 Fax +65 6883 0732 www.peranakanmuseum.sg as well as in the British colonial system. They had close ties to the British, who looked to Peranakan leaders to facilitate commerce and ensure stability in Singapore. But the exhibition also highlights how they were strong advocates for the rights of the Chinese community, championing issues such as education for women, elimination of opium and gambling, and Chinese-language newspapers that reinforced values and gave the people a voice. Dr Alan Chong, director of the Asian Civilisations Museum and Peranakan Museum, explains: “Over the centuries, Peranakans have played major roles as community leaders, philanthropists, and statesmen. We have chosen 50 remarkable Peranakans from many different walks of life as our contribution to the jubilee year. Some of these men and women are well known, while others were famous in their time, but are now forgotten. The range is remarkable: from several different political parties, to educators and entertainers. They were variously fluent in English, Malay, and Hokkien, and Teochew. Some were distinguished British knights while others were opium lords. But they all contributed to Singapore’s history.” More than 200 objects are on display, including spectacular furnishings, personal belongings, rare portraits, handwritten letters, and objects of everyday use. They all contribute to paint pictures of the professional and personal stories of the 50 individuals chosen for the exhibition. A portrait of Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman, showcases the work of the self-taught Peranakan artist Low Kway Song. He was often engaged to make portraits of prominent members of society in Singapore and Malaya. A Bukit Brown cemetery record book, displayed in the section on See Tiong Wah, one of the founders, shows the wealth of detail recorded about the persons buried there, including dialect group. And Mrs Seow Peck Leng, founding president of the Singapore Women’s Association, as well its first female opposition politician, is represented by a kerosang she wore and a campaign poster from the 1963 elections. Visitors can also discover new stories about many well-known personalities. Women are outnumbered in the selected group, reflecting the cloistered lives of nyonyas before the 20th century. Women as a whole are not as well-documented as men, but their contributions can be felt in a range of culture, including dress, food, residences, and social behavior. Some individuals stand out. Lee Choo Neo, Singapore’s first Chinese female doctor, was also a pioneering advocate for women’s rights. Maggie Lim, the first woman to win the prestigious 39 Armenian Street Singapore 179941 Tel +65 6332 7591 Fax +65 6883 0732 www.peranakanmuseum.sg Queen’s Scholarship, became a pioneering social activist and helped pave the way for a generation of Singapore women to fight for equal rights and family issues. A photograph of Lim with the staff of the Mother and Child Health Services illustrates the strong network of maternal and child care clinics she developed. Exhibition co-curator Ms Maria Khoo Joseph notes, “The efforts of these Peranakans gained them respect in government and society. They formed lasting cultural associations, wrote widely in English, Chinese, and Malay, and left legacies in art, education, social reform movements, and entertainment. What makes the Great Peranakans exhibition even more valuable is the insights visitors can gain into the personal lives of these exemplary figures.” The museum has produced a profusely illustrated, hard-bound catalogue to accompany the exhibition. Great Peranakans: Fifty Remarkable Lives presents historical essays on Peranakan culture and entries on each of the fifty men and women selected for the exhibition. The book retails for $30, and is available at Museum Label, and all fine bookstores. The exhibition will also be the first by a National Heritage Board museum to be featured on the Google Cultural Institute, a virtual museum that brings together exhibits and collections from museums and archives around the world. In addition, a mobile application will be launched to provide interested visitors with more information. Great Peranakans: Fifty Remarkable Lives will run from 23 May 2015 to 3 April 2016 at the Peranakan Museum. All Singapore citizens and permanent residents enjoy free admission to the exhibition. ### For media enquiries, kindly contact: Ms Khew Shu Ping Ms Sharinita Ismail Account Manager Assistant Director Tate Anzur Asian Civilisations Museum DID: 6221 8548 Mobile: 9012 6194 DID: 6332 7592 Mobile: 96702037 Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] 39 Armenian Street Singapore 179941 Tel +65 6332 7591 Fax +65 6883 0732 www.peranakanmuseum.sg About the Peranakan Museum The Peranakan Museum explores the culture of Peranakan communities in Southeast Asia.

SHS regrets that there was no consultation prior to the decision, and urges the government to consider alternatives that would not destroy the heritage value in the cemetery. Looking forward, SHS strongly recommends gazetting and legally protecting Bukit Brown as heritage site; the full documentation of the graves in Bukit Brown; and turning a Bukit Brown into a heritage park for Singaporeans to enjoy.

Background The origin of PCSH is linked to the discovery of tin in the Kinta Valley in 1879, which resulted in the population of Kinta District growing tenfold from 5,500 to 60,000 by 1889. Ipoh was the largest settlement in Kinta and by 1893 was a town with road and rail links.

February 22, 1906, was a special day in Ipoh although it probably was not recognised asA such at the time. It was the day that Hainanese immigrant, Cheam Tong Lin and partner, Jwi Fong Loon, opened the doors of the “FMS Hotel” for the first time, the name being an acronym for “Federated Malay States”. Situated on the corner of Post Office Road and Belfield Street, it page 12 immediately became a popular venue for a wide range of customers, particularly the Europeans who were not members of the Ipoh Club. The hotel rooms were said to be comfortable and the pleasant bar/restaurant downstairs served quality English fare daily as well as Curry Tiffin on Sundays. The Smoke Detector chef was also Hainanese, a race famous for their culinary skills. With cool Stengahs available, there in Toilets could be no better place to spend a few hours of leisure. The English newspaper, the Perak Pioneer summed up the establishment rather well on May 7, 1908, when they reported: “The FMS Hotel here, run by Messrs Jwi Fong Loong and Co, situated at the corner of Belfield and Post Office Road, is doing great business, and the rooms available are practically full every day.

  • The Early Haicheng People
    The Early Haicheng People During the 19th and 20th centuries, many Chinese Fujian[Hokkien/Hokien] people in Singapore and Malaya were known to have come from Haicheng[Haiteng/Haitîng]. These included celebrity pioneers such as Tan Tock Seng, Gan Eng Seng, Lee Chin Tian, Lim Chwee Chian, Lim Boon Keng, Khoo Seok Wan, Chia Ann Siang and Yeo Cheng Hai. Lim Chwee Chian and Yeo Cheng Hai were both founding members of the predecessor of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. At that time, 'Haicheng' referred to Haicheng County(Xian[Kuān]), a substantially large region in Fujian province. According to the Dictionary of Historical Names of Places published by the China Social Sciences Publishing House in 2005, Haicheng County was first set up in 1565 during the Ming Dynasty as one of the ten counties of Zhangzhou[Changchow/Chiangchew/Tsiangtsiu] Prefecture(Fu[Hu]). The nine other counties included Longxi[Lengkay/Lingkhe], Zhanpu[Chiangpor/Tsiangpoo], and Changtai (Tiongtai/Tióngthài). The county municipal office was located at the mouth of the Jiulong Jiang River[Kiuleng Kang/Kiú-ling Káng], where Haicheng Town is found today. In the ensuing centuries, Haicheng County was put under different governing administrations. In 1928, it was run by the Fujian province government. In 1960, most areas in Haicheng County merged with Longxi County to become Longhai County. From then on, Haicheng County fell into oblivion. Fujian is mostly mountainous, and always short of fertile land for agricultural farming. In ancient times, Fujian people living along the coast needed to seek food and living by venturing into the sea.
