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. -

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. -

Fellow Victorians Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Evening, Since
Fellow Victorians Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Evening, Since we are among friends, I hope that you will forgive me if I do not begin by recognising all the persons who should be recognised. It is many years since I last attended an Old Victorian’s dinner. So it is good to come again and see how many of my generation are here. A gathering of alumni from a secondary school is rather unusual. If you get to my age, in the seventies, you ask yourself what is so special about the very few years, not exceeding 5 years of your life that you spend in a secondary school or junior college. What kind of person you are today have been more shaped and influenced by your years after secondary school, either in further studies or in your livelihood or in your responsibility as spouse or parent or grandparent. What then is so significant about the few years that we spend in secondary school or in junior college that many of us have this desire to get back together with our friends from youth? I myself was in Victoria School from 1951 to early 1956. When I was doing my O levels in 1954 a group of 12 of us formed a study group. We are all in different professions and two of us have passed away in the last two years. Yet every year we still meet at least once a year with our spouses over dinner. That may be why I have not attended the OVA gatherings as often as I should. -

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. -
