Ignatius
Chew went for a talk on WWII War Survivors organised by Professor Gary Lit at
his Peace Gallery and met 3 lovely Penang Nyonya’s.
 |
| Ignatius Chew met them at Professor Garys Peace Gallery when he bought a Nyonya book |
One of them
Dato Lillian Tong was selling a book “Once Upon A Kamcheng” a book about Penang
Straits Chinese Baba Nyonya memoirs, biographies, and collected stories.
Ignatius' current interest was everything Nyonya and purchased a copy and
invited the ladies to visit the museum. He extended the invitation to Chung Lai
Yin the granddaughter of Kapitan China Chung Keng Quee and her group from
Taiping.
Dato Lillian
Tong was presented the Peace Ambassador Award by the Ambassador of Poland in
2024, is the President of Persatuan Peranakan Baba Nyonya Pulau Pinang and she
and her team members are dancers where she is the founder of the troupe Bunga
& Bintang and has performed at cultural exchanges.
