stories of the city’s burgeoning success and wealth. In particular the city saw
an influx of Chinese traders who arrived in droves in an effort to escape
Manchu rule. These entrepreneurs went on to marry local Malay women –
descendents of these marriages were known as Peranakan or ‘Straits-born
Chinese’.Their
relative success resulted in these expatriate merchants becoming the principal
wealth catalysts of the thriving city. The ‘Babas’ (male Sino-Malays) flaunted
their affluence by purchasing Dutch townhouses and transforming them into
out-and-out palaces. The interiors of these homes were opulent and stuffed to
the tee with Dutch-influenced fixtures including hand-painted tiles and
Victorian lamps.
