Dear Nyonyas and Babas,

In this month’s video, I am joined by Baba Richard Tan and Nyonya Melissa Sidek. At the start of the video, enjoy an impromptu performance by Nyonya Shirley Tay and Nyonya Melissa as a sneak peek into their upcoming performances at the Peranakan Ball on 31 December 2024.

Baba Richard and Nyonya Melissa are excited to share the lively lineup for the evening, featuring songs by Nyonya Noor Quek, Nyonya Melissa Sidek, Nyonya Shirley Tay, and our very own Peranakan Voices. The popular Merrilads band will also be there to keep the energy high with all your favorite tunes.

In receiving the National Heritage Board’s Stewards of Intangible Cultural Heritage Award, I committed to keeping the kebaya tradition alive through creative reinvention. I am excited to present a fashion show showcasing my reimagined kebayas, choreographed by Baba Richard himself.

Come dressed to impress, adorned in your finest bling, and ready to joget the night away as we ring in the New Year with music and dance. Our emcees, Baba Richard and Nyonya Koh Chieng Mun, will take you on a journey through something old, something new, something nostalgic, and something modern.

If you have reserved a table, arrive early to capture memories in your finest baju and bling at the 360° photo booth, and don’t miss the curated Peranakan Bazaar. Enjoy a chance to win in our Raffles Draw, lucky draws, and table prizes!

For those who haven’t booked yet, secure your spot at www.tinyurl.com/peranakanball2024.

We hope you enjoy watching our video clips as much as we enjoy putting them together. 

Warm wishes,

Baba Raymond Wong
First Vice President, 2024 – 2026
The Peranakan Association Singapore
