pinang peranakan mansion in chinese 在 Sassy Urbanite's Diary Facebook 八卦
[This week's focus on Penang, Malaysia] [link @ http://bit.ly/21jYE0J ] We bumped into a newly weds couple taking their wedding pictures at the Pinang Peranakan Mansion.
Do you know that the 8 millions Peranakans, also known as the Babas and Nyonyas, was a prominent community of acculturated Chinese unique to Penang, Malacca and Singapore in South East Asia when they moved from China between the 15th and 17th centuries?

[This week's focus on Penang, Malaysia] [link @ http://bit.ly/21jYE0J ] The elaborated wall carving decorations and English water fountain found in this 19th century built Pinang Peranakan Mansion.
Do you know hat many of the Peranakans (Straits Chinese) were elites in 15th-20th century, and they were more loyal to the British than to China during the British Colonial days??
