We are pleased to inform you that the long-awaited 120th Anniversary issue is being mailed out to members. SingPost has advised that we will have to wait up to 5-7 working days for their delivery.

We thank you for your incredible patience since October 2020 and hope you will find this issue one that is worth waiting for – to borrow part of the famous tagline from the old Robinsons Department Store.

When you receive the anniversary magazine, let me draw you to three story highlights: 

  • The story of our association’s founding in 1900 with interviews of our key founders’ descendants.
  • Our celebration of our Nyonya heroines in theatre and well-known female philanthropist, Nyonya Agnes Tan.
  • The President’s roadmap for the association for the 2020-2022 term after the association’s virtual AGM in July 2020.

THE PERANAKAN, our award-winning, volunteer-run magazine is packed with fascinating features and insights about Peranakan culture.

We hope that you’ll enjoy these stories and many more in this issue.
