  • INTRODUCTION the Story of Singapore and Her People Has Always Been One of Resilience Amid Change
    Sungei Rd 1 INTRODUCTION The story of Singapore and her people has always been one of resilience amid change. From the early pioneers who came to make a living, to later generations who overcame the war and struggled to build a modern, sovereign nation, Singapore’s success over the past 50 years owes much to the indomitable spirit, fortitude and resourcefulness of her people. National Day Parade, 2015 This national resilience continues to be a hallmark of independent Singapore. It has allowed the nation to weather periods of crisis, defend and strengthen herself on all fronts, and for her people to work together to transform the island into a global hub for commerce and culture. Today, this same Singapore spirit is driving a new phase of development as the nation strives to create a liveable and sustainable city; a home like no other with ample room to grow and opportunities for different communities to flourish and build a better future together. This collective resilience, which defines Singapore’s journey from 14th century trading hub, to colonial port to independent nation and global city, is the theme of the Jubilee Walk. Created in 2015 to mark Singapore’s Golden Jubilee, the Jubilee Walk is a specially curated trail of iconic locations that recall Singapore’s historic beginnings, her path towards nationhood, and show the way forward to Singapore’s present and future as a global city. 2 In this 1570 map by Flemish cartographer Abraham Ortelius, the Malay Peninsula appears as an elongated extension of mainland Southeast Asia, and Singapore as an appendix, marked “Cincapura” 3 4 The Jubilee Walk celebrates how far we have arrived after 50 years of independence and looks back in time to situate the island’s current progress within a maritime legacy spanning over 700 years.

The convent, established in 1854 in central Singapore, is now the ‗premier lifestyle destination‘, CHIJMES. I show that the Sisters were early providers of social services and girls‘ education, with an orphanage, women‘s refuge and schools for girls. They survived the turbulent years of the Japanese Occupation of Singapore and adapted to the priorities of the new government after independence, expanding to become the largest cloistered convent in Southeast Asia.

  • Developing the Peranakan Museum for Singapore – Challenges in Re- Presenting a Fusion Culture
    Title of Paper: Developing the Peranakan Museum for Singapore - challenges in re- presenting a fusion culture Name of author: Mr Randall Ee Name of institution: Asian Civilisations Museum, Singapore Address: 1 Empress Place, Singapore 179555, Singapore Tel: +65 63324539 Fax: +65 63346392 Email address: [email protected] Developing the Peranakan Museum for Singapore – challenges in re- presenting a fusion culture. The development of the Peranakan Museum is a good case study of a museum centred on the culture of a minority group in Singapore. The term ‘Peranakan’ is of Malay origin and was originally used by the indigenous Malays to refer to the immigrant communities that had settled and intermarried with other races in Southeast Asia, largely during the period of colonial expansion in Southeast Asia from the 16th to early 20th century. The Peranakan phenomenon is by no means a unique development in Singapore, with many different hybrid communities in the different port cities of Southeast Asia. However, as a very large majority of Peranakans are of Chinese descent, the term Peranakan has largely been synonymous with ‘Peranakan Chinese’ and is used as such for the purpose of this paper. The Asian Civilisations Museum is developing a National Museum that will focus on both the material and intangible aspects of the Peranakan culture. The new museum will capitalise on the unique material culture of the Peranakan Chinese, dating largely to the late 19th - early 20th century from the colonial Straits Settlements of Singapore, Malacca and Penang. It will also explore the links between these communities and other less well known Peranakan communities in the wider Southeast Asian region, as well as integrate contemporary Peranakan culture, in order to engage the younger community and address the relevance of what is often perceived to be a dying culture.
