Dear Nyonyas and Babas,
In this month’s video, I’m joined by Nyonya Kimberly Gwee and GC Members Nyonya Josephine Tan and Baba Ronney Tan.
Nyonya Josephine spoke about TPAS ChakapBot project, an initiative to revitalise the Baba Malay language using AI chatbots to support learners. This project is supported by TPAS, Temasek Polytechnic, National University of Singapore and the National Heritage Board.
Nyonya Kimberly shares her experience as one of the pilot participants, highlighting how valuable it has been to be able to learn during her travels and some face to face time learning directly from Baba Malay Chekgu, Baba Kenneth Chan.
Baba Ronney reflects on his role as an assessor, reviewing the participants’ progress, and also acknowledges Baba Andy Gwee for vetting and validating the heritage content.
We hope you enjoy watching our video clips as much as we enjoy putting them together.
Warm wishes,
Nyonya Genevieve Peggy Jeffs
President, 2024 – 2026
The Peranakan Association Singapore
