FIELD
TRIPS - Peranakan Mansion
The Higher Intermediate students paid a visit
to the Peranakan Mansion with their teacher, Ms. Alison. The
Peranakans, also known as the Babas and Nyonyas, was a prominent
community of acculturated Chinese unique to this parts of the
world, especially in the Straits Settlements (Penang, Malacca and
Singapore) hence its other name, the Straits Chinese. Adopting
selected ways of the local Malays and later, the colonial British,
the Peranakans had created a unique lifestyle and customs which
had not only left behind a rich legacy of antiques but its
cultural influences like cuisine and language are still evident in
Penang today. This field trip enables the Higher Intermediate
students to learn Malaysian cultures and eventually learn to love
Malaysia too.
