I'm a westerner married to a Singaporean, and as most people in this situation will tell you, the nationality of my partner or of myself had nothing to do with our marriage.

However, I'm sure you would LOVE the same thing to happen to all the Filipino people who've settled down here right? <br /><br />Ridiculous.<br /><br />The fact is that Peranakan culture has influenced Singaporean culture at large, and the opposite is true as well. It is impossible to talk about Peranakan culture without examining how it has evolved in Singapore and been affected by the Singaporean way of life. But that doesn't mean that Peranakan culture - or the Peranakan identity, as it were - has been lost; on the contrary there are still Peranakan traditions and customs, not to mention food, that survive to this day, despite what you perceive to be some sort of hostile assimilation.<br /><br />Again, this emphasizes my point that Tattler's charge of the possible "demise" of the Singaporean identity is nonsense. But then again, perhaps Tattler is playing to the peanut gallery: yours and the many other inane comments here certainly make a good case for that. I do wonder, though, based on what's been spouted by your ilk, whether you people are actually Singaporean at all. Surely you all cannot be so ignorant of your own country and countrymen?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-21402797211045400522013-02-05T17:51:34.760+08:002013-02-05T17:51:34.760+08:00For all you know, the Tattler may not be a local h...For all you know, the Tattler may not be a local himself !

Firstly...And your post is proof of your daftness. <br /><br />Firstly, a Peranakan is not necessarily a "hybrid" nor a "product" of the Malay and Chinese ethnicities. If you are capable enough to type, then you should be able to look up Google and Wikipedia for more information. I trust I shouldn't need to do that for you. <br /><br />Secondly, a Peranakan's roots in Singapore may be traced back to the 15th and 16th centuries, which is much further back than the history of many later settlers'. This allows Peranakans to form a more well-rounded view, compared to some Johnny-come-lately, of what should constitute a "Singaporean identity", a fact starkly illustrated by your ignorant post.<br /><br />Thirdly, you seem to have no inkling that a modern Singaporean's "cultural root", as you term it, is largely derivative of the cultural traditions and values of the thousands of foreign immigrants who left their homelands and settled here. Where do you think Singaporeans got the habit of celebrating Chinese New Year, Christmas and Thaipusam? The answer, dummy, is that we got it from the foreign settlers who brought their traditions along with them when they first came to our shores. <br /><br />I don't wish to waste more time educating you. In short, my point is that given our geographical location and history, it is difficult to say we have one singular and definitive "Singaporean identity" that could possibly be destroyed by more foreigners settling here. Our national identity has always been in a state of flux; just as the wind remains the wind even if it gets stronger or weaker or changes direction, so too will our identity remain even as it evolves and grows to accommodate even more settlers in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-37410586759869488072013-02-04T22:52:55.790+08:002013-02-04T22:52:55.790+08:00A Peranakan is a Malay and Chinese hybrid?
