About The Peranakan Association

The Peranakan Association was setup on17 August 1900 with Tan Jiak Kim as its first president. One of its original objectives was “to afford facilities for the discussion of all questions relating to the social and moral welfare” of the Peranakan community.

    I am glad that the Peranakan Association has started this website. We need to inform the young people from
    Peranakan families and tell them about us. I believe many of them dont know anything about Peranakan culture. I suggest that the people who are well versed in Peranakan culture post articles relating to such topics. Maybe you could reproduce some topics from the hardcopy magazine and post them in this website so that non-members will also learn about our culture. T C Tan, Life Member.
