Theme and Word of the Day

Theme: Malaysia Day

Malaysia Day is held on 16 September every year to commemorate the establishment of the Malaysian federation on the same date in 1963. It marked the joining together of the existing states of Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak and Singapore to form Malaysia. But then Singapore was expelled on 9 August 1965, after two years being a part of Malaysia.

Words of the Day: Baba, Nyonya

Peranakans are an ethnic group descended from Chinese settlers from the southern provinces who came to the Malay archipelago… between the 15th and 17th centuries.

Peranakan commonly refer to themselves as Baba-Nonya. The term Baba is an honorific for Straits Chinese men. Nyonya is a Malay and Indonesian honorific used to refer to a foreign married lady.

Usage: Refer to the males in the meeting as Babas and the females as Nyonyas. They are both nouns.
