Who are the Peranakan Chinese?

The Baba and Nyonya are Chinese of aristocratic origin who embraced much of Malay culture as their own. They are also known as Straits-born Chinese or Peranakan.

Most Peranakans have resided in the Malacca Strait for decades, although not all have intermarried with the local Native Indonesians and Malays. The Peranakan community developed to prominence in Malacca and Singapore, earning the moniker "King's Chinese" for their perceived allegiance to the British Crown. Because of the interaction of the numerous cultures and languages that the Peranakan had up to the mid-1900s, most Peranakan were trilingual, able to communicate with the Chinese, Malays, and English.

The influence of Baba-Nyonya architecture can still be found in Melaka today.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The design and construction features of Chinese Peranakan are heavily influenced by Chinese, Malay, and European cultures.

2. Most of the old buildings that can be found in Melaka are around Jonker Street.

3. The importance of these shophouses stems from their seamless links with every daily activity in each Baba-Nyonya cluster.

4. A shophouse is a two- or more-story structure that serves both business and residential uses. The shophouse tenants operate enterprises in the front portion of the ground floor, while their living rooms are placed in the back of the house and on the higher levels.

5. Peranakan buildings are typically decorated with colourful ceramic tiles on the flooring and walls. Every shophouse has a verandah, also known as a "kaki lima".

6. The China Peranakan, for the most part, converts it into an art form by combining colours and patterns to create a style for the entrance and the exterior appearance of the structures.

Malaysia's population is made up of three national groups: Malaysians, Indians, and Chinese. However, a small number of Malaysia's indigenous residents remain.

They are known as Orang Asli, which translates as "indigenous people" or "people of nature," a term used by individuals outside the tribe.

The Orang Asli make up 0.6% to 1% of Malaysia's overall population and totaled 178,197 people in 2012. Orang Asli were originally animists, a religious system to which some still adhere, although some also practice Christianity or Islam.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Many Orang Asli are now impoverished. Traditional wooden hut villages remain in certain regions, while others are modernizing their way of life and erecting classic brick dwellings.

2. Even the more contemporary members, however, maintain their historic identity.

3. The Negriti (also known as Semang) people dwell in Northern Malaysia, where they maintain their semi-nomadic lives and customs.

4. The Senoi of Central Malaysia have lately relocated to the Cameron Highlands, where they frequently live in communal bamboo longhouses and work on tea plantations.

# data[].attributes.body
At the other end of Tanah Rata is a community where the Orang Asli dwells in new brick buildings with the same style and construction. The locals are still attempting to maintain their Orang Asli identity. The Senoi people dwell in a settlement between the jungle and the tea plantations in the Cameron Highlands town of Tanah Rata. The majority of the hamlet dwellings are basic wooden cottages.

The Iban are Malaysia's second biggest ethnic community. 

# data[].attributes.body
Iban people are mostly located in the Malaysian state of Sarawak. Ibans often had traditional tribal lives. The Iban of Sarawak have a diverse tradition and culture that they acquired from their forefathers.

The Iban are also known as Dayak, Dyak, and Sea Dayak.

However, the appellation Sea Dayak is incorrect because they originate in Kalimantan, upriver from the sea, and have traditionally inhabited locations near rivers and streams.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The Ibans have historically lived in longhouses, which are villages under one roof, and groups of longhouses would typically band together under one head.

2. In the longhouse, twenty or thirty families would normally dwell under one roof. Usually, the people who dwell in the longhouse are related to one another.

3. The longhouse is composed of wood from felled trees and is elevated off the ground by stilts. It is accessed by climbing up notched logs that may be brought up at night for security.

# data[].attributes.body
The longhouse is divided into three sections.

1. The first is the Ruai, a vast internal community area. It is utilised for both special events such as Hari Gawai and ordinary engagement.

2. Tanju is up next. The outdoor corridor is also known as the long open verandah. Tanju is often used for drying crops, clothing, and other household tasks.

3. Bilek will be the final one. Each family has its own private room in the Bilek. In Bilek, each family would assemble and have meals together.

Longhouse life, rice farming, religious activities, social duties, and festive festivals have always been central to Iban culture.

In today's world, as modernization spreads, there is a need to maintain and revitalize Iban culture and tradition, since it reflects Sarawak's identity.

The livelihood and cultural legacy are presently under threat owing to a variety of factors, including a dramatic increase in migration among people from traditional longhouses in search of a better living in the city.

Including a variety of peoples who make up the biggest indigenous ethnic group in Sabah, the Kadazandusun people, commonly known as Kadazan or Dusun.

All of the Kadazandusun people groupings are largely agriculturalists, with rice cultivation complemented by vegetable gardens and animal husbandry.

Many have also found work in the booming lumber business during the previous two decades. Village life is often communal, whereas urban life is less so.

Although many retain features of their culture, the lifestyle of the Kadazandusun in urban and urbanised regions differs significantly from that of the isolated rural areas.

# data[].attributes.body
The Kudat Rungus are a sub-group of the Kadazan-Dusun, Sabah's largest indigenous population of Malaysian Borneo.

The Rungus are a Kadazan-Dusun subgroup with its own language and a few dialects, architecture, adat (customs), and clothing.

The Rungus are an ethnic group with significant cultural values and customs.

Traditional lifestyles should be practiced in a traditional setting. This explains why Rungus people continue to live in longhouses, with each family having its own distinct rooms off a main hall.v

This page will give knowledge of Malaysia's history and one cultural feature (architecture).

A building may be of great historical interest due to its significance in relation to a certain historical event or time, or it may be related to nationally significant figures.

Alternatively, the building itself may be of unique historic importance, such as its construction techniques, architecture, architectural significance, and so on.

We will discuss the architecture and history of the Minangkabau, Chinese Peranakan, Iban, Kadazan, and Orang Asli cultures.
